It was a very pleasant stay. Two minor problems for those of us who are over 80; no railing in shower and no nightlight for trips to bathroom at night. The service was outstanding

Our family had a fantastic time at the pool and restaurants during our stay. However, we were unfortunately plagued by bedbug bites. Four of us are still suffering from those bites even after the trip. Be careful!

The hotel needs remodeling. The shower does not have door, water comes out of the shower because of it. No room service. The balcony at the top floor does not have roof. The balcony’s door was not properly opening. No food after 10:00 pm.
