The property itself was beautiful. Check in was a nightmare. Was directed to go next door with a note, went next door, found another note. Called the number on the note, was told they didn't handle check INS for that property. They directed us to a third property, who made a phone call or 2 and directed us right back to the first property. All of this at 2AM. Went to check out, office was locked. Went back in the room, dropped the key and left.

The indoor pool and water park were closed. Nothing said they weren't available when booking. Our TV in the room had lines across the screen and a message to contact the cable provider. The bath vent fan didn't work. Pictures on the wall had cracked glass, balcony door has locks, but there's nothing on the frame for the lock to work. We had to pick up our room key at another hotel, but i was called and given instructions- no problem . Great view!

Wish they would’ve been more attentive to guests and the pool areas. The trash piled up a bit on our stay. Other than that the room was clean and a great deal for a long term trip

When I checked in I walked up to my room door being open. I assumed it was from the cleaning crew before we got there and ignored it. However the next day we went to the island and came back to our door being open again. Nothing had been taken but we were sure to latch the door when we left. It says on the website that you need to request housekeeping, which I didn’t do. I was obviously very freaked out bc all of my belongings were in that room and there was absolutely no reason they should have been in my room while we were gone. I went and talked to the front desk and they said that it was likely housekeeping thinking it was an empty room and then they turned around when they noticed it was occupied and as long as none of my stuff was taken they wouldn’t do anything. But if they accidentally went in there, why didn’t housekeeping make sure to shut my door? I felt really unsafe knowing that my door was open for no reason for an unknown amount of time and the employees didn’t seem to care. There were also no cameras on the property which did not help the feeling of uneasiness.

We stayed one night. The bathroom floor was dirty in corners. The sink had no stopper. The bedroom was clean along with sheets and towels. The view and beach were beautiful. Thin walls makes for noisy neighbors. For the one night it was ok.
