"Had an amazing week, largely thanks to Brian (the bartender). Personal, timely, respectful, always energetic and a cutie patootie. Definitely made our vacation and I will come back, if only to have one of Brian’s piña coladas. Shoutout to Carlos and Andrei also.. sweethearts! Love, Canada"

"Beautiful decor. Lots of dorms. Nice pool. Fantastic patio! The staff is very kind and helpful.

The customer service, especially that of Brian, Kevin and Alexis went..."
