"Room was very clean. Bed sheets were clean. Restroom was clean. No smell at all. Staff was helpful, Our room had a small fridfe with a sink next to it. Came in handy since we made beach salads to take. The pool was a bit green but clear but staff let us know it was good to get in. Breakfast was good, different options to choose from. The only problem was not being able to take food back to the room to eat comfortably. Close to the beach and town."

"We had a great time here. It was close to the beach and shops. However the first day a maid entered our condo after 4pm. Never knocked just let herself in to get ice.. the door knobs on the patio area are rusted and loose. The door knobs on the bathrooms are loose. The ice maker drips causing the ice to freeze in a large chunk. The refrigerator and stove are old and rusty. The entire room has a musty smell, like it's damp all the time the room could use an air purifier it would help with the moisture. Overall it met our needs and it was easy on the pocket book."
