We had a cockroach in our room. They sent someone up but he didn’t seem very bothered by it. We had to help lift the bed and find it to figure out where it was and my husband had to kill it. Nothing was offered as an apology. Slightly annoyed by that.

We got the highest room on 8th floor after making the request. Hispanic man at front desk was very helpful and kind and called when room was ready. The hotel has been recently updated and is really nice. I loved our room. There are only 2 elevators and they are very slow. We were there Monday thru wed so can’t imagine the wait on the weekends. The pool and hot tub are very nice. Unfortunately this is a very kid friendly hotel and I usually stay away from this hotel because of this but San Louis and Hilton was booked up. I wish that this hotel sectioned off an adult only area in the pool because kids can be very inconsiderate. While we were there there was a young boy jumping in and out of pool with no regards to anyone around him. Chlorine water doesn’t feel so good in the eyes. He was jumping on all the chairs, jumping off the waterfall, running around the pool, throwing the landscaping big black rocks in the spa and then throwing balls across the pool and splashing water everywhere. The parents did nothing but just watch him doing it. It was disappointing that no one from the hotel asked him to behave. We fished the big rocks out the spa when that family finally left end of day. With that being said, everything else was great. Loved that they had complimentary coffee bar in morning. We loved the huge hot tub. Pool waitresses always asking if we needed anything. Love the bar area. Very good area on the beach
