"It was a great 6 days, very clean, staff was very helpful. The only issue was the parking lot. I thought it was free parking, but no at the end I got a 250 bill for parking in the hotel. Which I didn’t know. On top of paying for staying there I had to pay 400 for a deposit. So they took the 250 out of the deposit. Although it was a surprise parking bill, we really enjoyed our visit and the beach"
