We stayed at this hotel two years ago and loved it. However, on our second stay this past weekend we didn’t love it so much. Our king size bed was comfortable, but the sofa bed our children slept in was not and it made a lot of noise every time they moved. They should also include a thick comforter for the sofa bed as those thin sheets are not enough for staying warm at night. Another thing we noticed is that the area of the pool closest to the bar is infested with cockroaches and we even saw one in the water. Gross. They really need to take care of that problem. Lastly, there were little children diving in the bar area splashing pee water into our drinks while their drunk parents did or said nothing. Not cool.

The only improvement we would recommend is to upgrade their showerheads. They were low pressure, old-fashioned, and did not have a shower wand. Overall, the property was excellent, and the food was fantastic.
