Had bad experience with the airlines on this app lost a date due to cancellation kept asking Expedia for help on negotiations with the hotel and was getting the runaround with customer support according to them they weren’t able to get a hold of anyone at the hotel regarding the matter?? I still went there and stayed and paid for an upgrade and they still didn’t help on the late day arrival that was faulty mechanics on the airline and airline (frontier) was just as bad going as it was coming back flight also delayed several times and then cancelled on me with again having to stay at a hotel elsewhere because I already checked out my hotel and didn’t want to deal with the aggravation again

The WiFi wasn’t great, especially when you have 2 children on iPads. We had to call to get 2 out of the 3 tv’s to work. There were water pressure issues a couple of days. One night we got home late and had to park very far from our building. But we liked it overall and would stay there again. Staff was very friendly.

Pros: the property and pool area were nice. We enjoyed the dining and activities (bingo and trivia). The room was nice. Cons: the pull out bed was absolutely horrible. Did not appreciate paying daily resort fee and paying an addition $25.00 per person to use the small Waterpark.
