Challenges for prospective visitors:
There are probably good reasons for no-cancel and extra person charge policies in a "party town", but for a family with adult kids, having booked in
a hurry based on the displayed daily rate, getting charged extra for a fourth person on a room that sleeps 6 felt like we'd been misled.
Check-in: pre-arrival comms on timing had us a little concerned we wouldn't have someone to check us in. We did not get any response to our outreach to confirm that someone would be there to receive us later than the office was open, but the custodian did meet us when we arrived.
The property is on an alley that has a surprising amount of foot and vehicle of traffic, some noise early to late, more on the weekends. There is a gate to the beach at the end of the alley that is unlocked during the day, another hotel and a busy restaurant between the property and the beach.
One area between cabanas, on the alley, seemed be being used for work: tree wreckage, several garbage bags piled up.
Workmanship of the updates is rough --one ceiling fan/light did not work (we were told on check in), loose outlet mountings-- safety worries. Just one working burner on stovetop, pots and pans were in rough shape -- hard to use.
Good: rooms nicely re-designed. Overall, garden grounds, pool area beautiful, some, wildlife, secure compound, parking inside gates, locked after 6. The only place we found that had separate rooms for the beds, a 300 yrd walk to beach.
