“Resort - it's not!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2006

We stayed at this hotel using an RCI week and it was a disappointment.. I can't really call it a hotel or resort. It is a modified motel. The "suites" are really just small rooms. And I mean small. The bathroom is so tiny, that the shower door doesn't open more than a foot because the door bangs up against the toilet. There is no bathtub. The room itself is small. In order to move around, we had to move the tiny coffee table against a wall, so that we didn't bang into it all the time. The patio is just a cement wall with 2 cheap, white plastic chairs and a small table. The locks on the doors are very poor. Not a inviting place to spend any time.

There is a vending machine for drinks and an ice machine. There is no store or gift shop and they don't sell any snacks. The office is only open for specific hours each day with no attendants at night.

The place does have a decent pool and nice BBQ's are provided if you want to cook. This place would be OK as an inexpensive place to stay for a day or two, but I would not recommend it if you're looking for a resort vacation spot.
