Good place

The stay was amazing, didn’t have any problems check in. The lobby was nice and had some type of party going on which was not an issue. The room however was kind of outdated but otherwise comfortable. The kids had a blast which was what mattered most.

Horrible! We had a 3 night reservation and left after the first. Would have left sooner but it was very late. The room smelled like mold, nothing like the pictures. 2 bedroom is NOT 2 rooms. 2 small twin beds divided by a half wall. Dirty rug on patio. Do no recommend.

Never again

First off my booking wasn't what I booked. I booked a one standard double bedroom rthey end up putting me in a one bedroom ocean view. Then switched me from the one bedroom to the standard two bedroom and that was a horrible room smell like smoke. Then on a paperwork, they said that the pool expires are open from 8 to 11 PM. The spa you had to make a reservation. The gift shop was closed our entire stay.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room's carpet and tile were stained and need updating. Some guests were very loud at 4 am one morning but the rest of the stay was quiet. The view from the balcony was beautiful and the pool area, restaurant and bar area were nice. The live music was a nice bonus.
