Room was decently clean but found signs of not a very detailed cleaning. We found Bobby pins on the back of the toilet and a spill in the mini fridge. We scheduled a room cleaning 24 hours in advance and did not get it. If you are staying with your family or small children I would request a room further away from the tiki hut. It can get kind of noisy but really wasn’t that bad. they also didn’t stay too loud too late but idk how it is on Friday and Saturday night. The staff was very friendly and the location was perfect for us. We felt completely safe and comfortable our whole stay. All in all it was a positive experience for $100 a night and would stay there again.
