This place has potential but needs to go all-in on the "Green Garden" brand: give eco-friendly options like water jugs for reusable bottle filling (the only one was reserved for staff) and reduced towel & bedding laundering, and not changing near-empty plastic bin liners. The gardens are coming along but the bougainvillea wall isn't yet filled in; handymen were installing elkhorn ferns and majors repairs to HVAC & pipes was ongoing (during my offseason stay).
The beds had excellent pillows! but a "King" is 2 heavy twins pushed together, the comforter is 2 side-by-side blankets laid between flat sheets… and tucked in so tightly, you must untuck them to get in, and the whole thing falls apart.
Smoking is allowed outside rooms and hovers in the tiny courtyard, making the whole pool area smokey - downstairs rooms are DIRECTLY on the pool patio. This courtyard also echoes any kids playing in the narrow pool area. The singer in the restaurant part is also right at the pool area / inescapable from the rooms, so be prepared to enjoy her singing on the nights she's there!
The pool closes at 22:00 but the flood lights stay on for an hour after and may shine right into your room.
WiFi disconnects frequently, requiring to retype the password about 50 times a day. It is not available when I go into my washroom BUT is has a stronger singal at the Shipwreck restaurant out of sight down the street. I sometimes had error messages telling me to restart the modem as there were too many users.
