Pros:

Everything from the lobby to the rooms and the pool was very clean. The pool was wonderful and the room was comfortable. There was a good selection of breakfast foods.

Cons:

There is no shade around the pool, so because it was so hot, the seating was so uncomfortable to sit on. Maybe some umbrellas would help.

Great place to stay if you have kids. And close to the beach we loved it.
Pros:

Loved the pool but should be able to swim at night with an adult present. Lady at the front desk during the day was great and friendly.

Cons:

Only thing I didn’t like was waking up to a giant cockroach in the bathroom on my towels. If they would have accommodated me, it would have been better

Location and staff make the stay worth it!
Pros:

Staff was amazing and accommodating, Location is great; we were able to walk to dinner spots and various excursions. Breakfast was yummy. Pool was well kept.

Cons:

For the price I expected better updates within the rooms. Things such as the toilet paper holder was broken. Duvet was stained on one of the beds.
