Pros +

  • Didnt eat the breakfast
  • The location is great.. West facing so you get to see the sunset, and if your room isn’t ocean view, you also get to see the sunrise!
  • Gorgeous

Cons -

  • Water didn’t get hot
  • No elevator from the parking lot
  • First room AC was broken and they made us sit there for 20 minutes and watch the maintenance man try to fix it. He didn’t. Moved rooms. Next room had blood stains on a bed pillow and blood stains on the bed frame.
