Up until 2 days ago this church was yellow!  Previous to that it was blue. How fun that they change the colors so frequently!

The ocean veiw suite is the way to go. So happy for the upgrade. You are pool side near the restaurant and you have that spectacular oceanview. I woke up to a beautiful male peacock outside my window one day. I highly recommend.

Upon check in we did not get any info if there is wifi, they didn’t tell us that the hotel lobby doors are locked past a certain hour. So we might have not been able to get into our room. Rooms were small and very out of date. Not clean.
