"overall the hotel was great , a few things needed to be clearer, like beach rentals should be discussed at check in so theres no confusion . it was a little of an inconvenience to do so , also they should really let everyone know at check in again that kids eat free breakfast lunch and dinner at hotel restaurant. Also only 1 elevator worked so that was a little of an inconvenience, but otherwise it was great, clean , staff was amazing and location is superb oh and and one last thing the hotel beds were super comfortable !"
