Elevators were broken which made our stay exceptionally hard with my mother who's handicap. We were told by staff upon arrival at least it's the 2nd floor and not the 3rd! How does that help someone who's disabled? That's 2 flights of stairs we had to basically carry her up! We even paid more for an ADA room and this hotel is not convenient for anyone with disabilities. We even got a complaint from someone staying underneath us 5 minutes upon oir arrival that my kids were walking too loudly! Our trip was not pleasant from the minute we got there and we will no longer be staying here in the future.

We loved this resort! We chose it because we did LegoLand for my sons third birthday and it was a blast, the resort is a very short walk to the theme park, they had 2 pools, a hot tub, basketball court, arcade, and so much more!! The staff was super nice and accommodating, we asked for an early check in about a week before our stay, they told us they couldn’t promise anything but that whenever we arrived they would give us a key card to do whatever we wanted in the hotel! And it didn’t matter anyways because we arrived around 2:45pm and our room was ready! The elevator in the villa we were staying in was out of order, which was a pain since we were on the top floor and staying 5 nights so we had quite a bit of luggage but they did wave our resort fee due to the inconvenience so that was very nice. The only thing I would say would be my complaint is only having one smoking section, and it being completely on the other side of the resort from where we were staying, but other than that we had an amazing time and would definitely book again!

Not what I expected

This is my third or fourth time staying at this resort my family and I have always significantly enjoyed our stay here. Property is beautiful to say the least. However, on this particular stay, we were on a ground floor level room unfortunately during our stay, we have limited use of our patio due to the fact that every time we were out there, there was cockroaches and spiders one night My Man counted over 15 cockroaches on our patio. I cannot stay on cockroaches, and these things spread like wildfire. Needless to say on the second day of our trip when I went to get in the shower, there was a cockroach in the shower meaning that they are inside when I called the front desk letting them know I requested a new room because I do not want cockroaches coming home in my bags or anything like that. Unfortunately they didn’t have any rooms available because they were at full capacity she offered to send out maintenance to take a look at the infestation. I let her know I’m not comfortable with them spraying while we are on the site. Aside from that no additional help was offered not even a discount off of our stay so I ended up paying over $1400 for three nights to stay in a cockroach infested property.
