Pros:

Clean, lots of pools, very friendly staff, cleaned the room every day and the property is beautiful

Cons:

No AC throughout the building such as the halls. Was very muggy in July. Rooms had AC and the lobby too but not the hallways of floor 8 in the Acacia building. Not sure if the rest were the same or not.
