This place was falling apart , rooms are dirty dingy and have mold . Linen was dingy . Furniture has severe wear and tear . Bathtub was dirty and all scuffed up. It looked more like a motel than a resort .Do not RECOMMEND!!! I looked at 4 rooms before I settled for the last one . Only stayed because I could not cancel and stayed out all day till it was bed time. Beach and pool were not worth stay .
