Room floor dirty
Our room floor was not clean. Sand or dirt was on the floor but we didn’t notice it until we took our shoes and socks off the night of our stay.
We asked for a late check out the morning we were leaving. The receptionist informed us that they were not granting late check out “that day”. We have traveled a lot and have never been denied a late check out. Unacceptable.

This facility is odd. No phones in the rooms, very short handed, almost like a self service facility.
The staff was very nice, just very few of them.
NO daily service to your room, its walk to the front desk and ask.
Rooms are beautiful but it seems like ownership has no interest in running the place like a real hotel of this caliber should be.
The pool(s) are huge, but run down.
The whole place has a niceness about it with no direction.
Needs new management.

Absolutely loved the room, balcony, and ambiance. Wish there were more dinner meals on the menu, and that it could have had more privacy, but overall loved this place!

Very nice place but it was during spring break from schools so there was a lot of young children running around everywhere so it was not very quiet.

Wonderful stay
I came in for a funeral and we stayed at the waters. It was a nice reprieve for my grandsons from a hard loss.
Thank you so much, very courteous front desk and staff.
