"Nice scenery - but no ADA - it was extremely difficult for my husband who is disabled. We suggest removing those darn aluminum bed shirts ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ that are a nuisance, vacuuming the bathroom air fan, leaving shampoo in the shower (only conditioner was available) fixing the bedside lamp so it works & being able to switch the light off from ceiling fan. It was nice to be able to get ice, there was an abundance of it, but definitely shocked with the condition of the inside of Tiki room where ice machine was located."
