The worst stat I’ve ever had! From the start we were disappointed in the room. The beach view was completely blocked by overgrown palm trees flowing onto the balcony. Then there was no curtain hanging on the window facing the balcony and the window in the front room right by the front public balcony and stairwell was 8 inches too short showing right into our bedroom! Then we realized our toilet didn’t flush. We reported this to the staff I was told management would contact me and possibly switch our room. That never happened, and we were given a plunger for the toilet which did no good. Eventually the smell filled the whole room. I let the front desk know the toilet was getting worse and voiced my complaints many times but nothing was ever done. We also realized that we had no pots n pans in the room so the stove and half the food we brought with us was useless! The room was just dingy and run down. The lamps were crooked one literally just had a lamp shade balanced on top of the light bulb. The refrigerator was off balance and shook like it was gonna tip every time we opened it. The plates and silverware were all dirty like they had only been rinsed off and put back in the cabinet. Half the kitchen cabinets didn’t even open. The pool area was dirty and run down, the pool grates on the deck were all busted some completely popped out being a serious health hazard. The pool is open so anyone off the streets can just walk right in and it was clear that was happening. Worst Ever

DO NOT COME HERE, please

I have stayed here previously and it was okay. But this last time…. Was the last. Do not book here. Not worth it, you can book elsewhere, where it is more comfortable. Got the room with kitchen and the stove didn’t even work, went to the office and the office had a very long line of people waiting. The elevator is the worst and slowest ever, only one of them worked. Toilet seat moved because it was broken from one side. And parking is very very limited on property, if you don’t get it there, you have to park across the street near abandon building. Awful experience.

Well, this could take a minute when we first got there. The bathroom door fell off of my hands when I was opening it then went out the front door to inform them of the problem and then came back, and the lock wouldn’t work at least five times a day. Every other time you went out the door of the lock would not work. And then got ready to get in bed and the bed was falling apart and then got up and then the water was out for the day and the list does go on very very bad experience, but the golf was beautiful.
