The room’s balcony door was not sealed correctly, causing the room to be extremely humid. It made everything sticky and made it hard to sleep. Turndown service showed up 2 times over the course of 7 days. The beach access and bar were really nice. It’s a nice place, but it needs some upgrades.

The location was great right on your own private beach area. There were also plenty of dining options and a couple of shopping/market options. The pool was nice, but I wish it also would have had a hot tub. The A/C units were being worked on which was a little inconvenient, but the hotel was very good with communication about the process.

I'm giving it 4 stars because the housekeeping staff never came to our room to clean (even though they were supposed to send someone every other day) (we stayed 4 days). Great location and the private beach is a plus. Mariah was the best!
