Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Food and drinks okay. Not many activities.

Food was excellent, other than poor choice of beverages in mini-bar. Activities were severely lacking. For example, there was a fitness activity at 10 A.M. just once a week. There were no bicycles, no tennis courts, not much to do other than beach volleyball twice a day. One boogie board, when 20 were needed.

This hotel has false advertising, it nice but everything else horrible, service, no room service l, nobody following dress code, staff was rude especially in the front desk. No warm blankets even though it was chilly out. I want my money back! I checked out the next day and Expedia assured me I would get my money back and now they’re saying no even though I asked are you sur I can leave and get my money back!!! I’m disabled and asked if I can have my husband bring food up to my room and the front desk said ā€œyou can tryā€ see what restaurant will let you from the resort? That’s so bad!

The property was very nice . Great entertainment and very cleN and friendly staff. But the alcohol. U couldn't catch a buzz if u tried even if u drank straight from the bottle. I had 13 drinks and 8 shots . Never felt anything. U could see the dark liquor was watered down and very clear color. I under stand if u dont want to deal with drunk ppl every day but dam i couldn't even catch a buzz. Went to bubba gumps at the air port on the way home and had 3 drinks and felt more buzzed then i did all week at the resort
