Expedia is a 3rd party to book with. For some reason there was an issue with my booking? Only 2 nights the hotel said. Was forced to call Expedia because front desk said it was a 3rd party problem. Thankfully, Susette answered and handled the mishap !!! Being told I don’t have a room for 7 of my 9 nights was very stressful. Disability concerns - you need to talk to someone b4 u book to make sure everything is set…. And your not sent to a bungalow w stairs etc

Didn’t get our room until 7:30 pm the night of our check in. Claimed they were having issues with the new computer system. Paid for a king bed and got 2 queens. They did waive the resort fees, but it has gone down the last couple years. Rooms need a major facelift too.

The staff was very courteous and the room was cleanish. The room was carpeted and it just seemed moist the entire stay. There were limited outlets for our group of 4. I slept next to the a/c unit and there was no way to adjust the vent. The air blew on me all night long - otherwise it would've been a sauna in the room. The location was nice - just a walk across the street to the beach.
