The room was worn and needed to be painted and a few repairs done. This was true of the whole hotel, which is looking tired. We had a noticeable sewage smell in our bathroom throughout the stay. The pool is large and quite nice, and the beachfront bar and chairs are great. It's on the nicest end of the beach, in my opinion. But some tlc to the hotel and grounds would be of benefit.

Our stay was great! Rooms and hotel overall are very clean. The staff is so friendly and always willing to make your stay the best. The food is incredible!! Important to mention that in the creek between the parking lot and rooms, there lives an 8-10 feet crocodile, the hotel staff stated that it lives there and that they have never had any problems, there is no way it can get to the actual hotel, but it is important to mention so you are not shocked in case you see it.
