Asked for a pack and play a total of 3 times , never managed to get one . Had to sleep in a very small bed with 2 kids because there was nowhere for my infant to sleep. Curtains were hanging off the wall in our room , mold on all the vents and no key entry to our building which means anyone could enter . The pool was full of teenagers that were not staying at the hotel and made the experience miserable. Menu for the restaurant is 2 years out of date (the bartender told us that) but i will say the food was very good and holly the bartender was brilliant. Has the potential to be a fantastic hotel but it is incredibly outdated.

It’s a very nice, maintained property. The hotel is in need of some upkeep in terms of paint, some caulking needed, etc. but I had a nice stay. No complaints. My kids loved the pool and the tiki bar was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall, the hotel grounds are beautiful. With this said, the inside of the hotel leaves a lot to be desired. You can see reminiscence of hurricane damage and what appears to be a rush effort of quality in order to get back up in running. The cleaning and condition of the rooms needs to be addressed. This hotel is beautiful and in a great location however, the conditions need to be addressed properly.
