The staff were very courteous and super friendly however- the photos and description of the property were not close to what the property actually was- we went on a soecial girls trip and had 5 rooms- each one had bariius issues-the photos made it look like a small resort and it was more like a lower bidget motel

When we opened the door to the room, we almost fell because the floor was sunken. Also, the stairsteps were uneven at the top of the stairs, and this was a problem. Also, I don't think we were told that the only bathroom was upstairs. The kitchen was very poorly lit.

This was not the room they advertised at all. The floors were filthy and desperately need a professional cleaning. I hope they can improve this but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The room looked nothing like the photos advertised. While it was technically clean (floors, bathroom, and sheets), the overall condition was poor and clearly overdue for an update. Walls were stained with peeling paint, there was visible rust, and the wall décor looked cheap and poorly maintained. The room also had a lingering unpleasant smell that felt musty or “old,” not just from cleaning products. The bathroom sink had no drain protection, making it easy for small items to fall in. For the cost, this was not acceptable. Advertising “updated rooms” and then providing accommodations that feel below motel quality is misleading.

It was ok. Our original flight was cancelled so we arrived a day late. Apparently we checked in the night before? so we didnt have a room ready when we arrived at midnight and had to wait. Once in room, it was spacious but lacking a few things. For example no couch, table or even chairs to sit at. There was a small desk with a rikety office chair that had a screw petruding the seat. Even our deck had chairs but no side table, had to put everything on ground or sit on our bed. Next night tried using the hottub but was told it was out of order which was not true. Certain staff just weren't shown where the timer was to turn it on. Other facilities like the pool and garden patio were great but their pictures are deceiving because no where is there beach access like they show. You have to physically cross a main road to get to the beach and there are no chairs or tables to sit at. I will say the staff were fantastic and the location was great! Just a couple things that would have made it better!
