Overall this is a 4 star property, they were very accommodating and had great service. The food was delicious and I had the Watsu massage that was the best massage I’ve ever had in my life. The facilities however need some love. Our room had a very strong door that no one could identify. The pool had dirty towels and the tile seemed to be crumbling and moldy. Housekeeping threw away my travel sized hair oil and sunblock. I really wanted to give them a 5 star review but they fell short.

I made reservation for the 17th by mistake and showed up on the 18th. Front desk clerk stated that he could see that but there was nothing he could do about it. I had to pay again for another night at a higher price. Even tough there were plenty of occupancy. Enjoyed the stay but definitely wont be coming back since i had to pay for 2 nights for one stay. Where is the common sense of an honest mistake and customer service. My business is 100% customer service and the front desk clerk didn't even try

When we first arrived we had a roach in our tub. They were able to switch our room. Everything on the resort is very costly. If you aren’t trying to speed money, this resort isn’t for you. A half a pack of M&M $12, waters and everything else in the room cost. The resort is very relaxing and quiet but it is very costly.
