The place is wonderful, just a few details that would bring it closer to perfection. The bathrooms should be cleaned more thoroughly, the ceiling fan has not been cleaned for a long time and was very dusty, and finally the gardening is really a shame that it is abandoned.

The room was updated and clean for the most part. Downhill from there. The worst kept pool of any hotel that I have ever stayed at. I would not get into hot tub. Tiles broken off with bare concrete and very cloudy water. The “boxed” breakfast was ok once but after that it was terrible. We made the best of a bad situation for 3 of the 4 nights but could not take it anymore and left the Keys one day early. That says a lot in itself. Upon notifying of early departure desk staff was nonchalant as if they had heard all this before. They charged me 75$ for late check out before 2pm. I just had to turn and leave. I had enough. DO NOT stay here. It was probably very nice once and would have potential again with monetary investment and proper management

start from the free breakfast - it was boxed with the frozen items, the third morning the half of the breakfast box items were missing, the area looks very unkept, there is no functioning bar or restaurant in the area. We had to pay a resort fee per day even though there was nothing to resemble a resort. Rooms were clean and well airconditioned. Also, there was a pool in nice size, no towel service by the pool.

Not much of a "resort"
For being a "resort", there's overall little on offer here. There's an oceanside bar and a poolside bar; both were closed the 2 days we were there. For some reason the door leading outside from our building was jammed open by the staff, making it so the whole building was sweltering hot, and therefore our A/C set to 61°F couldn't even keep up, and made it both a bothersome constant noise and uncomfortably warm in our room.

This is our second time staying here. It will probably be our last. We were in building 3, it seemed older and in need of upkeep. Ice machine did not work. Bed was nice and room was nice. The pool is wonderful, pool area could use some clean up and there were lots of dead vegetation laying around the resort. , they needed landscaping. BUT the resort fee was ridiculous and the " breakfast " was a boxed breakfest with a cold folded over egg, some yogurt, a few muffins. There was cereal and some bread available in the breakfast room.. It was disappointing to say the least. The lady at the check in was a little rude when we arrived..

Too expensive for what it is
Beds were ok. Air conditioning was horrible. Didn't work well and super noisy. Location is ok. If it was a $200/ night hotel I wouldn't complain but for the price I have higher expectations than what we received.

the hotel was very abandoned, the resort part had no support from anyone, there were no employees around the resort, the bathrooms were very dirty, there were no pool towels. The website said there was a bar at the pool, but it was abandoned too. The accommodation part was ok, the room was clean and fresh, the TV wasn't working but they quickly changed it. The hotel has a lot of potential to be better, I think it needs better management.
