- No proper internet on TV for streaming - WiFi constantly dropped as I moved around the property - Rooms: this was my least favorite part of my experience. Temperature wise it was either extremely cold with AC or a normal temperature with extreme humidity/dampness. Beds were not so comfortable after a couple nights. No real finishes to the rooms, they paint on the fly (I saw a lot of white paint cans while cleaning rounds were happening) which is fine but you can see white paint splatter on a lot of the wood in the room. Rooms are NOT soundproof you can hear everything happening above, and if your room faces inward, I hope you are a night owl - Not enough spots for hotel guests between pool and beach options. Wish there were more sun spot options by the ocean not fully shaded
