Elevator doors close too guickly and are very. Barely enough time to get on. But carrying luggage or using a cart almost impossible to get on without doors closing. Startling and a little painful. That being said the staff was wonderful The view was beautiful and the room was clean and very comfortable! I would recommend this hotel/resort.

Pros (+) The location is very nice. Food was good at the lounge as was their entertainment.
Cons (-) The pool was closed for maintenance my entire stay. Water was shut off during the night for maintenance my first night. Very drab facility in need of a facelift, yet they charge premium prices for your stay including a new fee of $8 per day for parking. Employees can be heard complaining a lot which always tells the story of the management.

Cons (-) The AC was broken and the bathroom door wouldn't shut, as if the door was too big for the frame. Staff seemed drunk also was so loud. Not very clean, we ended up leaving and checking into another hotel at 11:00pm and my husband had a early surgery the next morning.

Pros (+) The staff was friendly. Our room was clean and very comfortable.
Cons (-) We have stayed at this hotel before when we took a cruise this is why we booked again. The hotel was full so we booked through a third party. When we arrived we were told because we booked third party we could only have a room on the first or second floor. we were a little upset that we would not have a view of the ocean but all in all our stay was very nice.
