Hotel feels extremely old and run down. We paid US$531 / night for their cheapest room. For that price, I was expecting much much nicer. We will never return.

The place is awesome, right by the ocean, and the views are amazing. It’s also within walking distance to the town, so it’s super convenient if you want to explore. The whole vibe of the resort is really nice—relaxed and scenic, with a great atmosphere. Recommended!

The worst stay. The noise from the remodel is enough to cause anxiety and a migraine. No complimentary water, besides first 2 or coffee, cold showers, cold pool. World traveler who never complained until this because it was so bad!

Do Not Stay Here! ESPECIALLY Lagoon Tower room 244. There is no hot water in the shower or sink. The bed is extremely uncomfortable (like sleeping on a rock). The sheets and “blanket” are very thin and because everything here is at an absolutel bear minimum there is no extra blanket provided. Outside the room there is a constant hum (maybe from the radio station right under the room?) You cannot sit outside without hearing it and even in the room it is loud. To top it all off, there was hair all over the sink from a previous guest shaving in there and it not being cleaned up. If we could give this property negative stars it would still not do it justice to just how bad it is. Literally stay anywhere else if you can.
