The fact that this is a resort is hilarious. The carpet was worse than the alleys behind strip cubs in bad neighborhoods. I mean disgusting. There was an overwhelming smell of mold, which the 2 bottles of febreze could hardly cover. Side of stove was covered in grease. Only thing positive I can say is I didn’t see one bug. We also checked out a day early and never received credit for the remaining day.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!! We booked a beachfront ocean view queen room for our anniversary. We got there and it was the sketchiest room I have ever seen. NOTHING like the picture! The walk down the tunnel of terror to our room was dirty and littered and unkept. The room looked like a janitors closet and was the grossest thing ever. The view was of the tiki hit and palm trees they have. I called the front desk and was very rudely told they had no more queen rooms available but they had two queens for an up charge of $30 per night. They would not move us for no charge. So we had no choice but to pay extra. I asked to look at the next room first before we committed and I am glad I did because not only was it the same view but it smelled like musty mold and mildew. The smell was nauseating. I looked at two more rooms before we finally found one that was even remotely decent. At this point our trip was ruined because we paid for a room with a “view”and ended up having to look at three more rooms and had to end up paying more even though they should have comped it due to their incompetence and false advertising! The night clerk two nights in row was too busy smoking weed in the office to even be bothered enough to care about his job. So if you want to spend money to stay in a nasty, dirty, musty, moldy, unkept room with a “view” and with staff who have zero desire or care to help you, then this is your place! If I could rate them with a negative number I absolutely would.
Our lovely oceanfront “view”. 😡

The room was infested with cockroaches and other bugs (mainly around the fridge & stove). They brought a can of roach killer for me to spray but wouldn't let me keep the can since that is the only can they had. If you're ok with roaches & bugs - this is the place to be!
