Overpriced. There is no actual access to any beach, so you are paying an exorbitant amount of money just to swim in a pool. Our TV and phone were dead when we arrived. After complaining, they managed to get the TV up, but the phone was dead all visit and I couldn’t reach the front desk. The area does not offer much variety of dining and getting around is not easy without a car. Best to spend your money elsewhere.

In the hotel's advertising they say that they have beaches, but no one can swim on these beaches, it is a dock for boats, in conclusion the hotel does NOT have beaches.

Stayed here for 3 nights, The hotel and facilities were great but unfortunately they had issues with the hot water and we had no hot water for 2 days and the fire department was there at least twice because the fire alarms kept going off. The hotel did give us a small credit but the lack of communication and no updates for the 2 days without hot water was disappointing.

Bait and switch. It markets itself as a 4 star plus resort but it is barely a step up from Motel 6. No luggage carts. 1 useless bell hop. 3 hours to get pillows missing from room from housekeeping. Manager leaves over the weekend and staff check out, responding to a request with “What do you want me to do about it?” when asked for pillows.
