Loved the rooms, the facilities and the attentiveness of staff.

The only unfortunate cloud on our stay was the misguided decision of management to blast music from the pool area all day long. On one of the days, the noise from the DJ was so unbearable we had to complain to management. The music eventually stopped, but I suspect it was mainly because my complaint coincided with the end of the DJs set. Guys, bear in mind that if the music can be heard in the rooms of a hotel, with the windows closed, then there's something wrong with the "formula". People shouldn't have to complain to get the noise turned down.

I loved everything about the location and the food

I didn’t like the fact that they asked to photo copy my bank card in the front and back just so they can refund me money that was left cause that felt like a violation personal information.they could of just asked for an account number cause God know what they can do with my card information so I really didn’t like that

It was nice

Shuttle is too busy maybe if you can add another one since your place is too big because the other day we waited for the shuttle for a long time and we could see it that it was busy.
