Travelled with family

We stayed 4 nights during New Year's with our 12 year old son. Had I scrutinized each image in their gallery, I would've noticed that the property is on a boardwalk across from the beach on a section closest to where all the cruise ships dock. These factors alone would've had us staying in a more quiet location. The beach section for the hotel is loud - bars playing loud music - people trying to sell you stuff - designer stores on the street side of the property and cruise ship traffic. At night it's a bit quieter.
Apparently this hotel is known for their NYE celebration which we were not informed of - hence they had a DJ spinning loud club music until 2:15am and our room was right above it all.
The room was as the pictures looked.Cleanliness of the rooms was nice though our room didn't get cleaned on NYr's day. The smell in the hotel was of pine sol or some cleaning agent.
Service was slow all around. We had been used to "island time" and fine with it all except that we waited twice for 45min to an hour just to get drinks sitting out on the deck and on the beach.
The restaurant was fine'ish - the filet mignon was rare when we asked for it to be medium. So we sent it back to have it quickly seared and it came back well done and tough. Service the 2nd time we ate there was surprisingly snotty.
