8/10 Good
"Partial ocean view was amazing. Beautiful room. My room was super far from the elevators. They need more restrooms on the first floor. Somehow I found a pill I've never seen before in my pill minder. I was staying alone. They put me at the end of a hall in a room with an adjoining door and across from an exit.I noticed a mark on the inside of my arm like a blood vessel broke. Weird . My wristband also stopped working the first day and the security guy had to replace it. Anyway, great hotel, love the adults only infinity pool. Wish they would put women staying by themselves closer to the elevator. And wish there was some form of free breakfast. Like maybe a free muffin and juice. Doordash wouldn't deliver here and there is no room service."
