Anne, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Very cute place.

Hotel staff were great, pool service girls were not that great. The whole point was to relax and get great service by the pool, that did not happened. We even tipped them on the side to see if we could make them feel better about their job but we continue to get the cold shoulder and lack of customer service. Everybody else such as bus boy, front desk, housekeeping were awesome!
