We stayed in one of the new River Creek Villas and they were beautiful. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Lots of little well thought out touches. The bed and pillows were super comfy. The night supervisor when we arrived was so friendly and lovely. Thank you for a great stay.

Andie

We had no other option but to stay one night at the Mecure as our original flight was cancelled. The complex is in great need of renovation. Beds had threads hanging off - linen was nice. Expect peeling paint, chipped tiles, horrible pork belly salad (just don't do it!) and no where to plug in your kettle. On the other hand, and the reason I didnt give one star, the staff were lovely and very helpful and the pools are too. But at $400 a night, I want and expect more.
