This is a nice, older property that has done some nice updates to their rooms and grounds. Our room was "ocean view" but it was peek a boo at best and was at a junction where there was a lot of foot traffic in front of it so our curtains were closed the majority of the time. We were also placed next to the janitor closet that was not upgraded with insulation during their remodel. Every morning at 8:15am it sounded like someone was coming through the walls and no change made after bringing it to managements attention. Our biggest complaint was the HVAC. It wasn't functioning properly and the humidity was so high that everything (clothes, towels, sheets etc.) were damp the whole time. Although it was a nice property and great location, I'm not sure I would recommend.

This was a disappointing trip. The fitness room and the jacuzzi were both out of service. Two amenities that I researched before we booked. So basically paying for services that aren't available? This is a bait and switch and shouldn't be allowed.

Very nice location and beautiful property. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The room had a cleanliness issue with the wardrobe (dusty and lots of greasy hand prints), and the TV steaming situation was clumsy and difficult to set up. Also a bummer that the main pool and hot tub were closed for renovations. Overall a nice place to stay though.
