We had a double queen, ocean view room. The view was amazing and the room beautifully appointed. However, it had a damp smell and was cold at night. There were three of us in our room but we kept getting just two washcloths. We longed for a microwave and a laundry room to wash and dry our clothes---especially our swimsuits. The hotel should implement a guest portal to track incidentals instead of placing additional funds on hold once the required deposit amount is exceeded. Finally, more food options, please! Maybe blaze a trail and become PR's first true all-inclusive resort.
