The hotel has a nice pool, beautiful view, great bartenders. Beds were very comfortable. I do feel some of the amenities need an update. The gym had both treadmills out of order during the time of my stay and the washer and dryer that is complementary was down as well. I brought a bag of clothes down to wash and couldn’t. Otherwise the property itself was nice.

Overall we were pleased with this resort. Rooms, pool, and resort was neat and clean. It was easy to find parking. I was surprised to see a $50 per day resort fee charged to me at the end of our stay, I thought Expedia said that was included when I booked so I was not happy about that. Now I have another >$200 to pay when I thought I wouldn't.The resort will also charge you a $100 per day deposit that gets "refunded" after your stay if you do not have any room damage or whatever nonsense they say might happen. I think this is totally unnecessary. We were on the second floor and our room was not cleaned until about 4:30pm each day. That was inconvenient when we returned from a day out and wanted to get ready for dinner.

Book direct. It's WAY cheaper than using expedia! Our cost was $700 more through epedia then it would have been booking direct as confirmed when we got there. Live and learn.
