The amenities were very nice, and we especially enjoyed the pool and the ambiance in the restaurants and bar. However, we had issues with the room. There was a strong smell of humidity, and the TV’s Wi-Fi did not work. We asked for it to be fixed, but it never was. For the price we paid, the room and bathroom did not meet expectations and felt more like a three-star hotel.

The room had a nauseating musty smell. When I asked the girl at the desk why it smelled so nice in the lobby but terrible in my room she said they had air fresheners in the lobby. The second day I had another employee come into my room and she smelled it right away. She changed our room and said the girl the day before was supposed to change our room the day before. When we asked for a manager I was told she comes in at 11:00 and she would call us. Well no phone call.

I would give this hotel one the highest ratings for my most recent stays in the area. The views were spectacular. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Very very minor thing was the condition of the furniture and electrical sockets weren't the best quality but I just loved everything else so much that it would not deter me from returning.
