Beach front room- would have been a nice view if they’d actually cleaned the windows. Dead cockroach greeted us upon entering the room. Not many toiletries provided, with promise of being able to pick some up from the office. Office however never staffed and toiletries not restocked. All in all, ok if paying around $60 per night (Elite room).

We booked the room because of the pool and hot tub and even called before we left only to arrive and find the indoor pool and hot tub out of order. We planned to stay for two days but left after one. The entire reason we booked this place was because of the pool and hot tub. Very disappointed
