Not really a 5 star hotel. Area around the hotel could use more security. More police. Don’t bother going to the beach- you’ll be swarmed by every local there trying to make a quick buck. I say to everyone order Ubers not yellow cabs. And have them pull right into the hotels front lobby. The food is pretty mid. Friendly staff at least. Attentive. Don’t think I’ll stay here again.

I requested the upgrade! They said they didn’t have a better room. Then the room i was getting was connected to another and I didn’t want. Then, i was offered another room better but I was supposed to pay extra. And I reminded them I have the right to an upgrade. The lady left to talk to someone and finally came and told me I was getting the upgraded because they checked my status with Expedia. The room was bigger but I requested an iron and ironing board and they didn’t have one. I got the iron. The breakfast was terrible food.
