1. The complex is currently undergoing renovations - the lobby has been moved, the fitness center has been moved (if a good fitness center is important to you, I would avoid this place until the renovations are complete as the temporary space is not good), one of the bar areas has been closed, and the rooms are in the process of being redone.

2. Prior to booking we had read reviews on 'tripadvisor' warning of renovation works and to avoid rooms overlooking car park; in the event we had no problem obtaining really good upgrades so we overlooked the ocean & pool (both beautiful in their different ways.

5. We made a bed on the floor with extra cushions from the side chair and ordered extra blankets to avoid that fee.

6. PS- avoid checking in with a younger guy, he is terrible and unfriendly, check in with one of the friendly women that work there.

"Cool resort in need of updating " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/9/2011 Vote

7. To be fair, though, the hotel itself is largely open air, so that, combined with the heat and humidity, I suppose the occasional bug can't be avoided.

8. if you want to avoid resort fees either throw a childish fit in the lobby or book a Fairfield Inn, your choice I guess.

9. I should have listened to all the reviews on tripadvisor and avoided this place.

10. But we would be prepared for the above costs (or more aptly we would be prepared to avoid the above costs).
