We had a wonderful stay, the room was really nice with the balcony and super large shower The dinner on property was absolutely delicious as was brunch the following morning. Our only complaint was the pool was green, truly unpleasant to look at and extremely disappointing considering it was 105 degrees and all we wanted to do was be in the water. We would expect a property as nice as this one would have maintenance on this immediately but it was green again the following morning. It did not ruin our stay, but did share with the pool attendants who stated it was the storm the night before which didn’t make sense as we are locals and our pools are blue/same storm then we shared at checkout and were told the decking causes a green glare? There’s clearly an issue that needs to be resolved.
