Not at all like advertised. Had to go to a different hotel room just for a code to access the property. Very dingy falling apart. There was an AC unit but a vent in the bathroom was blowing hot air which cancels out the ac.

I reserved an "ocean view" room...the Ocean view was from the lanai looking around the wall, or through a mirror on the opposite wall--more than a bit misleading. I was a late arrival, but the check-in for this property evidently closed at 11:00 P.M. We were able to get in by checking in with the neighboring property, but they weren't sure which parking spot I'd be assigned. Since everything was electronic, all of the relevant info could have been sent beforehand.

Surprise cleaning fee $159 up front! Unknown to me. Restaurant/bar is 21+ only (did not advertise that before I booked) I have 8?yr old child with me. Also pool was not open due to construction (also not disclosed before I booked). Then was asked to move to another room shortly after settling in. Evening front desk clerk Jonathan was very rude and out of line!! I actually rate my experience a big fat zero! Also was not disclosed that the var Hulas is a gay bar!

This suite was far better than we excpected! The staff was friendly and was nice enough to store our bagse before check-in and after the checkout, and let us check-in a bit earlier. The suite itself was nice, big kitchen and just a bigger suite in general for what we're used to. The view from the terrace in front of the room was absolutely amazing! Worth every penny!

This was our second stay here we had a great experience the first time but after this stay we have vowed never again. The location is wonderful but that is about it. The room wasn't the cleanest the bedspread was gross not sure if that was even washed recently and since you only get clean towels every other day you have to use the same washcloth for two days. We even looked at moving to another hotel in the area for our stay. The room was not even close to what is being depicted online.

Not Grand

This is the worst hotel i can remember staying in in the past 30 years. The rooms did not match the pictures on the webpages. There was mold in the showers The rooms were furnished with second hand furniture. The swimming pool was too dirty for swimming. And there is no room cleaning service. The only positive was the proximity to the beach.

Won’t go again

Our room was small. Bed was old and sagging in the center which made it difficult to sleep. The rest of the room was slightly dirty and outdated. Had the room been cleaner I would have slept in the tile floor instead of the bed that folded like a taco!

The room was small but liked that it was filled with all the essentials like scuba gear, boogie board, books and stuff for the beach. Didnt like that they wanted to charge a cleaning fee of almost $300 upon check in for a room that noone cleaned until after we left. We negotiated it and got it reduced. Had to go to another room for clean towels and stuff for the bathroom. Weird. They should bring it.
