Understaffed and Overpriced Resort

clean roommany towelsstaff shortagelong wait
The room was clean and they gave many towels.
I feel they are understaffed. I always had to find someone if I wanted food or drink and then locate them again to sign the bill. At lunch I waited 40 minutes for my bill after I was finished. I left to sit by the pool.

Wonderful Coastal Stay

oceanfront locationlovely viewattentive staffmultiple pools
The hotel sits right on the oceanfront with lovely views. The location is dreamy and peaceful within a coastal conservation area. The staff was attentive and customer friendly. The hotel has multiple pools and it is next to albandeira beach.
The mini-bar prices seemed a LITTLE excessive.
