Pool area over crowded impossible to enjoy hot tub overflowed beside the visible dirty water … not to mention the rules of the beach chairs setup that restricts those who don’t want to pay $$$ p/day to be near to the water. (You can’t seat up your chair even if you have children’s to watch them with the possible consequences of get fined the hotel punishment for your choice of be by the edge of the beach. Never heard of that so no thanks. SHOULD LET US KNOW BEFORE RESERVATION ABOUT IT. I loss my rights to enjoy the beach by the edge of the water after paying the rent just like anyone else
