This property had the qualities you would expect from a four star hotel. I didn't like that we had to change rooms because there was no tv remote. I don't know why there was $160. resort fee? We were comfortable and the staff was friendly and attentive. The area shuts down at 5pm but, we were able to find good dining options near by. All in all, It was a great trip.

The room and property was nice. Had to ask for the room to be cleaned daily. The restaurant service was not great. It took a long time for the waitress to come back to the table for a refill. We went to the bar ti get the refill and they made us go back to the table and wait. We went back for dinner a couple days later and we sat for quite a while and no one waited on us. There was only 3 tables with people sitting so it was not packed. Not much for entertainment. The store was completely rediculous on pricing. $40 for sunblock. Walls are thin. Heard the neighbor talking on his phone at 3 am. By the way he misses his kids. But clean room.
