Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
My AC in my room didn’t work and my room was very stuffy. I called 3 times and nobody came. The 4th time someone came and didn’t fix it and left. It’s hard to sleep in a stuff hot room. My room phone did not work and there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom either. No windows to open.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
For a "resort", this place was quite disappointing. The walls must be paper thin between rooms. I could hear the person in the next room get out of bed (the bed squeaked). I could hear a baby crying in another room somewhere. There are no carpets in the hallways to help absorb sound so you could hear all the other guests talking as they walked down the hall. Carpets coming up the stairs were dirty and torn. Our bathroom fan was so loud you couldn't use it, not to mention it was loose on the ceiling. The shampoo had obviously been previously used as it was only 2/3 full but the other toiletries were completely full. The room itself was quite large and the bed was comfortable with nice king-sized pillows. I'm a seasoned traveler and most hotels these days have courtesy coffee and tea near the lobby. All they have here is what's in the room or Starbucks. The room coffee machine really doesn't work well if you are a tea drinker. The pool area and tiki lounge were nice. Even in early February the pool water felt close to 88 degrees. Plenty of towels with your room key at the pool area. For the price plus resort fee, certainly not worth it.
