long check-inopen door

Check-in took so long. ants were all over our beds! and hairs were all over the sheets in the first two family suites we got. eventually, we moved to the fourth floor. The maid kept leaving the balcony door open when she cleaned. bugs could get in! on our second night, our room wasn't cleaned even though we had the sign up.

The hotel has excellent beach access through the back entrance. the food was very good, providing sufficient variety at breakfast and dinner. ana at check-in was especially helpful. I appreciated her attention to detail. the hotel's location is great, close to restaurants and activities.

The accessible room i was given had a car park view, and it was very small. Maneuvering my wheelchair was difficult. the bathroom had some issues. The sink was too low, and some fixtures were hard to reach from a wheelchair.
