Clean, good location, lots of bass
Hotel was clean and location was good. My room was facing the pool/patio area and my room sounded like a nightclub until 11PM every night. It was not relaxing or comfortable.

Property was beautiful, room was perfect just wish it came with a refrigerator and microwave only reason I can’t give 5 stars. Restaurant attached had really great food. Only other complaint is it can be loud during nights it’s open until midnight could hear the music loud from my room. Other than that i had a great stay and appreciate the room service very much

Liked: Cleanliness
Has been one of our favorite places to stay. However the actual hotel basic functions have suffered a s the management and staff pay more and more attention to the bars, restaurant, and entertainment space. It’s become a very popular bar. The hotel rooms now seem to be a second property. We had major AC problems. And the rooms remain dark, in need of several more lamps, including a desk lamp for the desk. Appears to be a fair amount of staff turnover as well. We saw now familiar faces this time and we’ve stayed there 8-10 times since they opened.
