Negative Reviews
negative:
Pricey breakfast
Several guests say that breakfast, and in fact every meal at the property, is a bit pricey for the location, noting that the service and the food do not merit such an extravagant price tag. They recommend visiting local diners and restaurants for more dining options at much more reasonable rates.
negative:
Hidden costs may be incurred
Some guests comment on the resort's fee policy, saying that not everything is included in the price, and that additional resort fees apply to every stay. They say that these include Internet, pool, and beach use, and have a problem with them not being communicated prior to check in.
negative:
Spotty Internet access
Several guests note that the Interne service is unreliable; the signal is not very strong and there is very little signal coverage in the common areas. They recommend using a personal data plan to conduct online business, especially if un-intermittent access is required.
