I booked a hotel room w a bath tub like it showed in the photos online. When we arrived our room was a shower only and there wasn’t any accommodation for the disappointment. There were added resort fees and other unnecessary fees when checking out. The stay was not worth the money at all. Very disappointed with the staff who couldn’t accommodate or compensate these unnecessary fees for our stay.

Upon checking in we found that we hadn't been assigned a room yet, that each of the corner view rooms were still getting cleaned. 90 minutes at the bar we decided to leave and walk to one of the local eating spots. As we did we finally got the call the room was ready. However, once we got back and picked up the keys, got into our room we found a surprise. Proseco and cheesecake to celebrate our anniversary. The service team was listening to us and gaging our needs the whole time. It would have been nice to check in as normal, but rhey found a way to make it special.

Vanessa B at check-in went above and beyond for us... After we had checked in. We originally didn't get the room we asked for from the first person that checked us in. When we went to desk for something else later- she remembered us from check-in and fixed our room issue and took extra time with us. She is the best!!!!

They charged unused minibars. Worst of all, they keep ignoring me and never responded no matter how many times I contacted them. It made me very sad. When considering this hotel, you should carefully take the above into account in your decision.

Quiet away from traffic. Room cleanliness poor, windows need cleaning. No chairs for dirty balconies. Cannot use fridge for personal items have to request additional noisy temp. Outside pool closed during my stay, no word of this whilst booking. Jacuzzi broken. Did not get the room I booked, lower standard so had to complain which is poor.
