Great Location

We thought it was clean, but the room was bare. It was a king room with only a little refrigerator and nothing else. I didn't even have a bench to put your things on. The front desk person female not sure of name. She was there Sunday afternoon check in July 20 and the morning of Mon July 21 check out dark long hair. She was not friendly at all. If you work in hospitality, you should have the personality for it. We did enjoy the Bikinis bar outside and loved the restaurant on the property. The people there were amazing. Beautiful location.

Everything was great at the resort EXCEPT the noise on the street side. Very loud with the trains. And please be careful at the Tiki Bar outside. We were ripped off with a debit card and it came from the bar. It was reported and waiting to see what management does to the employee. Our bank took care of our end for reimbursement.

Room temperature control-better policy

Late afternoon when entering room, noted room was extremely cold. We fiddled with temperature controls, then left the room for a late dinner/drink. Return, which was late, there was NO difference in air temp (66 degrees). Desk explained that during the extreme heat wave, just before we came, maintenance locked room controls so people would not mess with them. Unfortunately, the extreme cold room kept us from sleeping comfortably and having a productive next day.

It was directly on the beach which we loved. I wasnt to happy about my room being right where the outside bar was. We kept the curtains closed just so we had some sense of privacy. The mattress was to hard and I didn't get any sleep during my stay.

Seemed clean but outdated. No elevators—which they didn’t bother to mention until they gave us our keys and watched us wander around the building with a luggage cart. Front desk staff seemed rather uninterested in their jobs and we seemed to be a bother to them checking in for our reservation.
