It was a great place to stay considering the few things mentioned above.
Pros:

The conference room was great.

Cons:

My particular room view was not the best as it was in between the 'L' shaped hotel and could not see the ocean well. The elevators were a bit slow but otherwise good. Need to have a closer restroom near the conference room though.

Awful Resort, Stay Away
Pros:

G-man has been purposely silent banning this review because of how disastrous this stay was. This stay was setup through Monster Vacations and Spinnacker resorts.
Here is the short of a truly awful experience I had posted here originally.
Rooms are dirty, damaged, rusted, and infested.
The resort is 2-3 blocks from a tent city and the main room doors are difficult if not next to impossible to close due to rust. Slamming doors to get them properly shut was observed in our room and others on site. The outdoor hallways have very little lighting and it's hard to see anything.
The room had water damage, mold, and smelled like strong chemicals that made our family sick. The safe did not function at all.
There were weird brown and red stains all over our pillows and linens, both big and small.
Worst of all, the room was infested with roaches. They were climbing on a box that contained my KIDS TOY! I captured a German Cockroach in a cup (see pictures) and had the staff come verify the issue. My kid now calls them "dangerous ants"
We checked out and left immediately once my taxes were returned and the card hold lifted. Staff told me roaches were common this time of the year, yet would you believe not a single hotel/resort we stayed at besides this one had that problem?

The staff is always great and the air conditioning is always cold
Pros:

Great staff as always facilities have improved over the last couple years and I understand it's very hard to maintain a building next to the beach

Cons:

I think the elevators could use some maintenance

I did not stay, i booked online, arrived, checked the room out and left.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was dirty, disgusting bedding, flooring was so nasty stained, pieces of odd scraps of carpet. Stove was rusted with foil, dirty, bathroom walls had some sort of soiled surface on the wall. Stains of something all over. Smelled like alcohol vomit. I had a full panic attack walking into the dirty facility.

Nastiest place I’ve ever been
Pros:

Me and my daughter drove 17 hours to get there and then we had to switch to two different rooms because they were full of little cockroaches living in the air conditioning unit,and in the floor. I killed about 20+.when I told the staff they really didn’t care just said thanks for telling me. That was a nasty ass place. I’ve ever been in my life.
