9.2/10 Wonderful! (394 reviews)

Staff was friendly, room was clean, bed was comfortable, and everything looked as pictured, but down-rated slightly because a couple of little wall fixtures were broken in the room and the chairs in the room were uncomfortable. BEWARE there is a daily resort fee hiding in the fine print that increases the cost of the room and there was no major amenity like a swimming pool or spa that seemed to justify this. Breakfast was not included in the price of stay.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (56 reviews)

Really great spot. Love the low key aesthetic and cool design. The tiles in the bar area are great. Nice breakfast spot by pool, and beach club is outstanding. Only small issue is there were a bunch of loud little kids shouting and cannon-balling into the pool. Super disruptive to the peaceful setting and zero was done to ask the kids to chill just a bit. Overall - super spot and renovation has made it a gem again.
