One and done! Took 3 attempts to check in. The room floors felt gritty. POOR water pressure, grab bar in shower pulling from the wall, water ran out on the bathroom floor due to this being a handicap shower, slip and fall hazard. Used our tiny towels to sop up floor. $25 dollars to park in garage next door, thought THAT pool was included because no signage coming from garage, found out next day belonged to another hotel, was not informed of that. And parking fee was not disclosed at booking. Was given a free entre to the hotel restaurant Cabanas, no entre is $20 or under so ordered anyway. Food was microwaved and inedible, left it on the table! Slept poorly, room on first floor by the elevator. No handicap lift at their pool. Thinking about it, I don't even know how you could have gotten a wheelchair in the bathroom of the room the way the door was. Left a day early and could not wait to get away from there. I have stayed in several places for a lot less and got a better stay. Wish I would have gotten this RED FLAG!! Maurice, the Night Manager, was the Best!! He actually listened to me with sincerity!

The 25$/day for parking was outrageous and ought to be complimentary for paying guests. The cost per day for the room is high enough already, and especially outrageous to have the parking fee "sprung" on you when you check-in. I will not stay at this hotel again and I will advise my friends and family accordingly.

The hotel needs a complete renovation. The carpet in the hallways were disgusting. There was trash, dust and dirt under the bed. The WiFi never worked properly. The doors in our room had large gaps at the bottom. The front desk personnel couldn’t get our cards to open the gates to the garage.

I liked the location and the cleanliness of my room. I did not like the way too loud music at the bar. I did not like that there was nowhere to sit on the beach without paying. Would have liked to sit on a bench for just a little while.

I LOVED how kind and helpful every staff member was, they were amazing! The food and service was great too! The private beach was perfect, and a main attraction for me. My issue is that my TV in my room wasn't working correctly. When i called the front desk i didn't get an answer after SO many rings. And SO many calls. Also, upon check in I was asked if i want my towels replaced daily, to which I replied no thank you. And they came in and replaced my towels anyway. This frustrated me and made me feel unsafe. I don't like anyone around my things while im not there. I traveled alone and so this upset me. I did not complain to the front desk. Overall my experience at this location was positive. Im big on customer service and they hit the nail on the head in that rite.

Our experience was so bad ,and definitely we will not booking with this hotel again ,the room of the door need to be forcely pushed in order to be opened ,the sink is clogged ,we asked for rollaway at booking and made sure they will provide it and then they told us the room they prepared had no room for rollaway and if we want we need to wait for another room and no timeframe for that ,so we had to take the room that was available ,and for heavens sake why the staff are so so rude ? there is no reason to be rude with customers .overall we regret booking with this hotel.
