Door was terrible to try to get in to, tv screen was busted, microwave was broken, fridge shelves were broken, linens were stained, pool was closed during our stay with no notice given, only 1 working ice machine for the whole hotel, hotel employees smoking weed on premises.
The pictures are extremely edited, it looked nothing like the photos, all the pools including the spas were closed! When asking for “room service” they refuse to come clean the room, I stayed there for an entire week and not once did they clean my room, just disgusting, I asked them multiple times for full room service and they still didn’t service my room!!!
NEVER BOOK AT THIS FAKE ASS RESORT THAT’S TRASH!!!!
The beds are comfortable, however the A/C leaked into the floor of the room, the bathtub didnt drain properly (due to sand but still) we had a room with a kitchenette and the website said they provided cookware and utensils- i asked for these at check in, and was told thy would bring them up. When no one brought it up after 3 hours i went back down and when i asked this time i was told when theyre at capacity they dont have enough totes. Even tho i asked when i checked in, they had no record of that!!! Every one of the pools were closed, staff didnt know when theyd be open. and the restaurant advertised is not open.
The room was awful, shower had a crack in the bad rod the shower so it felt like you were gonna fall through.. the floor was dirty and the room smelled awful. There’s no coffee shop and the Pool and lazy river were both out of order our whole time we were there

We specifically booked because of the variety of pools/lazy river/hot tubs to accommodate our five-year-old grandsons birthday as well as our family vacation. We arrived on Monday and checked out on Saturday. We were told daily that the repairs would be made and the pool would be open.
There is no restaurant, bar or pool. Pools are broke down but can tell they have been for a long time. Rooms were nasty and bathroom door was broken. Beautiful view but can get that other places as well. TERRIBLE PLACE.
We loved the hotel. The check in staff were great. None of the pools ,hottubs,lazy river ,pool bar or restaurant was opened. That was fine because was told that the hotel amenities fee wont be charged. But upon check out when i asked for a copy of my bill i was being charged one day of amenities fees and they were charging me more a day to stay than i was soppesed to pay. They said they would refund my 25.00 amenities fee but it will take like 5- 7 days. That is fine. I will be keeping check of my account. As for the over charge on the room which is about 65.00 total over charge they said there was nothing they could do. I said i wanted to talk to a manager and they said that there was no manager on site. This is very upsetting 😡 and the pools have been out of order for a while now from the reviews i just looked at. I had reserved this place back in may. You would figure that they would give you a courtesy message or call to let you know that the things that attract you to there hotel arent available for our stay.

The property was not what it advertised. Its old. The picture frames were rusty as while as the shelves and stove. No kitchen utensils and once i went to ask they bring up a tote of dirty dishes with one butter knife and no forks. The baseboards were dirty headboard and dresser. The curtains had mildew spots. The sheets had spots and rings all on them. Behind the door was a open whole. Me and my family was very uncomfortable we left at 7am in the morning we were so ready to go. All pools were down the entire stay talking about an electric issues but they just were filthy. I hated it we spend to much money on this trash. And everyone who gave them a 10/10 are filthy too. I went off reviews and you disappointed me as well.
This was a terrible hotel. Pool and lazy river was closed. Room was not ready upon arrival. Room was disgusting. Ice machine is on every floor, but only the one on 11th floor works.
Beware before booking! Pool was and had been closed for a while. This was not disclosed when booking. Staff is very rude and not helpful about issues guest are having. Housekeeping was not seen for 4 days. This place has no right to call themselves a resort. It’s pretty much a room with beach access.
Everything was broken. The pools was closed cause they didn’t work. Looks like maintenance hasn’t been kept up. The tv only has one channel. Hotel restaurant looks to have been closed for some time. Tiki bar closed. No entertainment. None of the amenities advertised for the hotel.

Pools are broke ! Read reviews!
The workers were great for the most part ! Hotel doesnt look like the pitctures . Need some up dating and some fixing of stuff . The pools were down the whole time they keep saying tomarrow , tomarrow , and dont take some off your bill . No bar no food . You pay resort fee and you get your own towls and clean your own stuff.... only perk was it is right on the ocean !
I liked that the room was huge and that the bedroom is completely separate from the kitchen are and the main room has a Murphy bed. You can close the seperating doors and make it two private bedrooms. I also love it has a parking garage so the car doesn’t have to sit out in the sun. Wonderful place
Sand on floor in room, out dated and rusty appliances, rusty lamp shades, no housekeeping, had to take diry towels to front desk to get new ones, even thought we had a kitchenette, again, you had to go to front desk for things to go with the kitchenette. Pools not available and we were not informed of this at check in. We were told we could use the facilities at another resort that was 2 miles away. We were not told about the other resort until Wednesday via a note in the elevator, we arrived Sunday. Resturant on premises not open nor the tiki hut. Photos are misleading.

2.5/5
Booked it for the hotel bar and both pools and hot tubs inside and out. None of them were open, nor was I informed that they were shut down. Asked for room service, which took forever to get. The staff seemed a little rude. If I had known all the items I booked it for, as mentioned above, were closed, I would have booked somewhere else because I could have gotten cheaper for what we were offered. I was hoping for some sort of discount or money back, but overall I still had a good time with my girlfriend.
