The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly! i received prompt assistance with all my requests. the room was clean and well kept every day. i appreciated the access to the hotel's private beach. It was a great amenity.
The bathroom towels seemed overused. They were not as white as i expected. the tv in the room disconnected frequently. I reported it, but it wasn't fixed. There were often long waits during peak times.
