"To call it a resort is a stretch. Beginning with the room safe which was completely nonfunctioning... 3 trips from maintenance and still did not work. Not a single ice or vending machine. Last day we were waiting for the elevators to break down and sure enough they did. The staff is very friendly and the pool is off the chart beautiful and relaxing. It was my birthday and we had a great time in spite of it all . Can't say enough about the staff but the air conditioners blew in our room and sounded like freight trains. Could use some updating.
