Okay

The grounds are tropical and beautiful. The room was comfortable but definitely due for an upgrade. The dresser drawers and doors were falling off. Also the mini fridge is one of the smallest mini fridges I’ve ever had at a hotel, so don’t come loaded with cold food/drinks. Also there is no microwave, so don’t bring things that need to be warmed up. Overall it wasn’t bad, but definitely lots of room for minor improvements that would benefit their guests. Especially in a town with soooo many hotel options.

Much different experience from the first time.

This is the email I wrote to the hotel. Hello My first time staying for the Paradise Road Show last year was such a wonderful experience. It was only one hotel over from the tropics to our event. My room was absolutely worthy of a Palm Springs getaway at a fair price. I even wrote ya guys an honest and 5 star review on yelp. I too run my own business and quality control is one the biggest qualities my fellow colleagues & especially myself take pride in. I have been to every state in this nation for work and have stayed at many hotels. But the room I got this year was pretty bad. *there were these 4 weird holes right above the mini fridge that just seemed outta place. *interesting odor when I first walked in so I just opened the bathroom window a bit to air it out. *there was a huge crack in the popcorn ceiling above my bed. *hair dryer was halfway ripped off the wall mount. *not even a half of TP on the roller. *the carpet was coming undone near the base boards. *there was loose tile where the carpet and tile meet in the bathroom and it cut me by the toe nail on it. *the wall paper was coming undone in certain areas. *there was no hot water *the turn knob of the shower was pretty much a tetanus shot waiting to happen. *i requested to not be by any stairs as I am a light sleeper & I was put directly in front of the stairs.

The vibe, pool area, and bar restaurants are awesome but the actual rooms are dated, a bit unclean, and the beds are terrible. The thinnest blankets I’ve ever seen in a hotel.

If you are looking for truly quiet and relaxing, consider an adults-only accommodation. Because all the rooms face in towards the courtyard and pool, you will hear everything. If that doesn't bother you, the pool and hot tub are lovely, and Sancho's restaurant, right on the property is fabulous!
