Doors to the rooms had a gap in them! Was taken to two other rooms and had the same problems! Patio had mold on it from the water draining onto the patio floor! I could not believe that hotel.com showed a rating of 8.4 for Golden Host, which it should be rated at a 5.0. Hotel.com should verified hotel that they advertise for, to assure people that hotel.com have our back!

Room 214 had sub par water pressure in the shower. It also had a mildew smell to it. The air conditioner was hit or miss as well. All the said.. I would stay there again. Convenient for what we needed, cost effective and super friendly.

All staff was extremely friendly, and accommodating when we needed something. The staff is this resorts biggest asset. The resort is not luxurious but if you are looking for a place to stay that is close to airport, about 20 minutes to the beach and is tidy this is a great spot. We stayed 4 nights, and would stay again on another quick trip to the area.
