The room was filled with mold and full of hair. The room looked lovely as long as you have no smell.. Mold was literally blowing all over the room. The comforter specked with it. We didn’t notice it at first as they seem to leave the AC units off so the room looked clean, smelled musty, until we started up the AC then mold was being flung around… Read more

We didn’t notice it at first as they seem to leave the AC units off so the room looked clean, smelled musty, until we started up the AC then mold was being flung around the room. We did our best to do nothing but sleep in the room… we wish we would have left but sometimes it’s just not an option. Read less

I love this hotel, especially Dazzy from the front desk. He was super nice and made me feel at home. Wonderful experience! Very nice environment; the room was clean, and the three different pools were nice. The lighthouse was a nice touch; I will definitely come back.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, beautiful pools & grounds. It was nice that you shared amenities with the Marriott next door. It would be nice if the shuttle service was available. Service in the resturant was slow on some days. Food choices were great and good tasting too! Front desk reception needs improvement welcoming guests.
