Great hotel bad bar service

Everything great except bartending at indor bar on Saturday. Untrained and unprepared person put in position to tend bar. Not this persons fault. Management should not put a person in a position to serve drinks with no training. And they had no person to call to bar to assist even when i asked for to get someone to help her. Worst margaritas ive ever had. My complaint to Management was quickly noted but no action to remedy my bill or offer coupon or anything was offered. Wasted money on drink as o did pay for two of them.

Pros: close to beach, great outdoor pool, nice and clean bedroom. Cons: Area around indoor pool was not very clean. Daily parking was expensive. Dining option in hotel was expensive. Some guests were drunk during spring break, it would be good if they had security guards walking around the hotel during that season.

Nice place,

Great facility and location! Surprisingly good food in the restaurant. Beach wasn’t the best or safest—people were fishing right where people were swimming and my daughter got tangled in fishing line. I reported it to staff but they said fishing was allowed and there was nothing they could do. That’s my only complaint, though.
