The hotel room had a bad smell, staff was rude we didn’t realize are tv volume was a bit high one of the staff members came and knocked on our door and was immediately extremely rude and stand-offish. Even after we had no arguments at all over turning the volume down on the tv. Even if that incident hadn’t occurred I would not return here, the smell alone was bad enough to not make me want to come back, and I had paid for one of the better rooms

The property itself was beautiful, we stayed for 2 nights Deluxe Room with 2 queen beds. Our rooms were 1218 and 1219 at the main hotel building. Upon entering 1218, I immediately smelled something funky..urine smell. It wasn't strong and didn't bother us so much but it was definitely there. Opened the windows and that helped a little but the smell were there throughout our stay. Valet parking only which was $40 per day with in/out priveleges. That part I wasn't happy about since the rooms were already expensive as it was. No vent in the bathroom which made the room a little humid especially after showers. Older decor in the rooms and the hallways though the carpets felt clean. It was quiet, didn't hear next door neighbors. The beach was across the property which was nice. Would I stay here again? Most likely not because of the price point and the room smell. My fault for not asking to be transferred but again, for the price I paid, I definitely was not expecting that.
