They did not give the room shown in the picture it was much smaller and only one window with a dark hall to walk into the room. 1st night was sleepless due to the amount of spiders and mosquitoes nested in the ceils above the beds. Which was not evident when we check into the room after waiting 3 hours for it to be cleaned. The sliding door did not close properly and when we returned to our room after 10 pm there was NO staff available to help us until the next morning. Next afternoon we asked maid to clean the ceiling and the bedding after cleaning the ceilings which she did.

The view from our room was amazing, could not be beat. Bed was comfortable, bathroom had everything we needed. Pools were nice but could have been a touch warmer for our liking. Dinner, drinks and breakfast all very good but above all staff and service was exceptional. We look forward to staying there again.

The hotel was nice, however, for the price we paid, it had a stringent pool towel policy, the balcony sliding glass door had a 3 inch gap that let bugs in, all around the property was under construction. Pool was not warm, spa was not hot.
