Not disclosed that most amenities were closed off & under construction. Place is lit like a hospital. Staff spoke like robots. This place feels like its lying to itself. The private beach is the size of my living room. Got here and immediately booked another hotel. It was so awful it was funny. Like im not even mad, I got a good laugh out of it

I don’t even know where to begin. For starters, just wasn’t a comfortable place to be. The property is undergoing construction/ renovation which didn’t help. The rest I will sum up with this statement, the place was a total waste of money.

First and last Resort I will spend my money on!!!!

I was highly disappointed because my boyfriend and I drove 2 hours to enjoy our romantic getaway for the weekend. The customer service was great but when we arrived to our room I was upset because I specifically booked that room just to have the bay scenery but instead we seen the overgrown bushes. The temperature in the shower was cold and some of the outlets wasn't working. We called the front desk for new towels but they didn't answer the phone so I had to purchase my own towels from Walmart . I didn't have a problem with the construction site.

When booking this stay at this property, the only thing that was mentioned was that there would be a possible noise during the day for construction. the entire first floor was boarded up. you could not enjoy the view at all when dining, working out, sitting at the fire in the lobby, etc. our room had no hot water in the sink, the shower had brown water, the refrigerator did not work, the carpet was disgusting, there was BLOOD on the corner of the boxspring. It was late when we arrived and we were tire, we dealt with it that first night. I asked for a different rm, &we were moved to a ply wood boarded up view for the remainder of our trip!!! QUITE UNHAPPY DISPEASED CUSTOMER!!! no bay view, which is what I requested and neither of our 2 rooms looked anythning like the online pictures! quite deceiving!

Ok Stay

The overall facility was clean and nice however the lady at front desk gave us the wrong set of cards for the door to our room on two occasions having us wait a few extra hours before we could get into the room. For the 6 night stay that we were there we had no cable/internet service for the TV. They were finally able to get someone out on night 4. The housekeepers never entered our room the entire stay and I constantly had to go to front desk to get coffee for the room. This is a service I guess you have to request at the front desk daily. Two of the three restaurants were closed the entire trip. Lastly at the end of our stay, we were charged an extra $244. We booked via Hotels.com and was never informed by them or the resort that there would be extra expenses especially when you didn’t use their services such as the restaurant. - hidden expenses by the resort. All expenses are charged to the room, however we didn’t use any. So for anyone trying to book just know that the price is not the price- the resort will charge you an extra fee of $34 daily to stay there at the end.
