"The facilities are great, however the fact that the sargassum has been a factor for quite some time now makes it misleading to advertise that the property is right on the beach. There was NO beach access (and had not been for quite some time) due to the seaweed. Guests had to be transported to a ..."

"Needs to be updated. Not being able to eat whenever is a problem… you can’t find a bite of anything, even snacks, after 9p. The piano bar… but one option. To be able to grab a banana or fruit, or a candy bar or something at any time of the day or night, would be a cheap upgrade. Staff amazing."
