9/10 Wonderful! (234 reviews)

Although the property was in a beautiful location I wouldn't rate this property 5 stars. I could hear my neighbors conversation through the walls. The power went out multiple times. The TV was not useful. The bathtub malfunctioned numerous times. My room service order was provided with no utensils. I was interrupted by staff on numerous occasions when attempting to sleep. I was not provided my advertised discount for food and beverage for being a one key gold member. The male staff was not friendly only the female staff seemed to welcome me. One of the nights someone was trying to open my door while sleeping and it scared the crap out of me because I'm a solo traveler. Upon check in/out I felt rushed. Also, the food was very mediocre. I also found that the air-conditioning was not acceptable for the temperatures and the bathroom area never cooled down at all it felt like a constant sauna in there. I wouldn't stay at this location in the future.
