This resort adds on so many fees that the fees cost more than the actual cost of the stay i booked through expedia. The hotel was run down the room was old and the hallway carpet was stained and smelled like mold. The room had no kitchen. No fridge. They also do not run ac in the hallway or the elevator so its really hot in those area. There was ONE elevator and it was the slowest elevator on the planet. The pool heater was broken.it felt nothing like a resort it was basically just a glorified hotel. I will never stay here again NOT worth the price.
