Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not very clean. We had to drag our own bags around. They were having issues with hot water. Had dinner at the restaurant and they asked my room number and said we’ll charge it to your room. I had my card out ready to pay. Though ok no big deal. Then got a phone call hours later woke me up to tell me I needed to go to the front desk to pay for my dinner I never paid for. I was like ummm u guys offered to charge it to my room, I’ll just pay at check out. No we need it now. I said ok I’ll get out of bed and get my card, well we prefer you to come to front desk. I was just like no take my card over the phone or wait till the morning this is not my problem this your guys issue. So they took my card over the phone. Just a weird experience. Room was musty smelling. I wouldn’t stay here again

The hotel has a tropical feel with its lush greenery and jungle decor, waterfall hot tub and tiki hut pool—however, the pool was a little cold and the swim-up bar wasn’t open during our stay, which was a little disappointing. The rooms are spacious and clean, a little outdated but nice with a large bathroom and comfortable beds. We ate at the hotel restaurant on Wednesday; they offered a delicious buffet at a good value.

Room smelled stale and out of three days they only clean room once! Used their laundry service and got ripped off horribly in my opinion as was a small bag of laundry and they charged me massive where I could have bought 7 expensive bottles of detergent at home! Canadian! Restaraunt is stupid expensive and paid huge USA for a chicken curry dish with an iced tea which is like way more in Canadian! Won’t ever stay at a Hilton hotel ever again especially after seeing they would t allow ICE agents to stay there, if people knew the corruption from these illegals they be all for their removal
