I have a long review I typed but it was too long to paste here. However I was able to leave the longer review on another site click here to read it:

The landscaping here is amazing. Events seem promising, but as a guest here this was an nightmare. Everything from checking, checking out, the jacuzi, the doors to room, the leaks, the ac, it was almost never ending.
One last thing, don't take the shuttles to and from airport, they charge way too much and a cab is so much more faster and cheaper. They like to hit you with fees as you check out and its hidden as when you are picked up they dont tell you this even if you went through an agency which told me it was free of charge.
The hotel workers (towels, housekeeping, delivery of ice where all super friendly).
There is a lady at the front desk whom is SUPER rude. Likes to slam things down if she doesn't agree with you.
Ants are always a welcoming sign in your room also.
