This place is a dump. Room was filthy and smelly. Recommendation : Pray, Pray, Pray for a category 5 hurricane; collect the insurance; then plan for a different vocation.

Room we stayed in while obviously had a renovation, most things didnt work properly. Lights very dark, gad to us phone lights to help see, sink drainage extremely slow, shower water tap installed incorrectly. Waste a lot of 'hot' water which was really cold water on hot water setting. Beach setting was lovely though.

Generally clean. Bathroom ceiling paint flaking and had the appearance of mold. Bathroom sink drained slowly. Buffet breakfast below average. Better to go out for breakfast. Dining room average for dinner.
