"Our stay was great. The room was clean, updated, and the property was well maintained. The staff was very helpful and easy to access. The property is some new buildings in the coming year that will make it whole inclusive stay with a restaurant and tiki bar.

"Check in was very easy. The hotel is clean. Could use the carpet cleaned on the high traffic area. The room was very clean. The only ding I would give the room was the bedding. The blanket had hair all over it and none of it was mine. The coverlette looked cheap, like they used old drapes on the bed. Staff was great. Grounds were well maintained. I loved the gazebo. Able to sit in the gazebo catching any breeze. I would stay there again."
