The staff was amazing! I traveled 11 years for business and never had such wonderful experiences in any of my travels. The amenities were great. Now for the downside. Shabby chic would be an upgrade. The rooms were clean but for the price and full occupancy, the rooms need a complete makeover. AC not connected to the condensation discharge on the balcony. The balcony left a lot to be desired. Would easily rebook another stay only due to the staff and amenities.

During the check in the staff member forgot to issue a parking pass and food voucher. Despite having A/C in the room the humidity was so high that moisture ran down the walls, the room mirror, and furniture. The moisture also caused our clean clothing and bedding to feel damp. The floor appeared to have small puddles of water caused by the accumulating moisture. The curtain for the sliding door was torn and hem was dirty from the floor. House keeper did not arrive until 5:30pm. I had to get coffee cups, face cloths, bottled water and Kleenex tissue off a house keeper cart that stood alone in a hallway. We did not go to the pool after witnessing a mother telling her children not to touch what appeared to be floating fences or a meatball. After a staff member removed it no other action was taken. The bottom of the pool looked dirty and water was murky. Pool towel return needs to be better monitored as it was alleged that I had not returned two towels despite having done so. The toilet did not flush properly and the handle needed adjusting during every flush. There is no fan in the bathroom and moisture lingers there. Pinky’s on the Beach service and food is good. Beach is clean, water is warm and clean. No jelly fish during this visit. Desk staff were friendly and helpful. The greeter at the parking and hotel entrance was also friendly and helpful.
