Very beautiful grounds and pool area. Ideal location. Well-kept rooms. Don't like that every time we've booked a room, we've been given a room across the street in one of their 'sister' buildings....not great for going to the pool. And they charge extra if you want to stay in a room by the pool. Beware of this scam.

No ice available. They sent me two blocks away to buy ice, despite the fact that they have a full-service restaurant available. Terrible air conditioners. Weak window units that are underpowered. The room was constantly hot and humid. Terrible linens. A thin 'blanket' and a springy 'mattress' that was a little rough but I've had worse (in the Army for... More

While I realize they are "in the process of becoming all inclusive" this place lacks the space and amenities to even come close. I did not stay more than a few hours and will tell you why. Upon arrival I was asked to prove to them that I had a reservation. A simple ID wouldn't do for them. They actually... More
