beautiful property

The property as a whole as well as the unit itself was clean and updated with a great view. However, the staff and many of the guests were rude, disrespectful, and racist to say the least. My guest and I were singled out several times by staff members, my kids were uncomfortable and my spouse was ready to leave the property less than 3 minutes after checking in due to the negative energy and atmosphere. The property staff members as well as other guests have no issue displaying their hate. When you stand tall and confront the people they tuck their tail and hide behind an officer they have on the property. Once the officer is confronted he displays 30 years of hidden hate as well as a lack of diversity and ethics training. My spouse recorded an entire confrontation between a staff member, the officer and I after the staff member and officer singled us out because we were the only melanated crowd at the pool. After I gave them some diversity and ethics training they wanted to run off. If the property doesn't want to host "Blacks" they shouldn't list the units on any travel site. They want our money but don't want our presence. I can assure you, my hard earned money will never go to this property again!! Just like I told the staff members and officer on the property, Melanated ("Black") men and women have roamed this planet since the beginning and we will without a doubt roam this planet long after everyone else is gone 🌞. Spend your money where you will be respected.
