The ocean view was spectacular. The rooms were comfy. Rooms were cleaned each day. We were disappointed in all the closures at the resort. Hot tub was not working and low on water. Swim up bar was closed. Grill was closed. Heated pool was nice. Towels were not available at the pool, needed to go to the front desk to pick up towels. Gift shop was nice.

Do Better
We booked because my son had a baseball tournament. The first night went well. The second night was a nightmare. Had to park in the parking garage and walk across the dam parking lot twice. Super inconvenient. The same night we had music overtaken our room until 10:30. Marine ball!! My son has anxiety and we took him to the hospital. We let the front desk aware of this situation earlier in the night. By far the worst customer experience in our lives.

This is my third day at the Island resort the pool. The grotto pool was closed which I wish I would've known. It was one of the main reasons why we chose this resort on the pool was literally empty. The beach bar closed early every night that we were there and granted the weather wasn't that great but the first night that we were there it was really early. It was not even 7 o'clock. I don't think and there were people coming up to the bar. There were people waiting for drinks and she informed everybody it was last call on I did hearing a note later that the bar closes at eight, but the last two times I was there that wasn't the case so it kinda left us with not a whole lot to do at the resort and itself Was very disappointing and I think that they should have told us when we booked our reservations at the pool is going to be closed. I would've chose somewhere else to stay.

The staff were great. Maids were great. Waitresses and bartenders were great. Walls and doors are not thick enough. Can hear people in adjacent rooms and in hallways. Arrived at resort to see main pool empty for maintenance. That is one reason we picked this resort. Disappointing that this was not brought up before we arrived. No one offered an explanation.
