They need to renovate the rooms and the surrounding area. And even more so if there are families staying there. There are many cracks, some of the bed sheets were stained, and so were the towels. The bathtub door leaks water, and we have to use towels to put them on the floor. Otherwise, we would have fallen to the floor with all the water coming out.

The staff was really friendly. The area was really nice and quiet and secluded. It was difficult to get around without a car. Walking just to get out of the resort area is like 15 minutes. The room was not completely clean when we checked in because we found a bottle under the bed. Also one time we left and when we can back at the end of the day the room had not been cleaned. On a different occasion we left and came back and found the room had been cleaned but there were no towels left for us. The bathroom didn’t have a good vent so the mirror stayed really foggy.
