The rooms paint was damaged from water seeping through the walls. The ac was not working in our unit and we notified at 830 pm and did not get a new room until 1130 pm. The hot water did not work at times and also the water was cut off for short periods of time on multiple days. The arcade where kids would’ve loved to play was mostly inoperable. The only thing that worked was the VR which you had to pay extra for. The bars were very limited. They only had liquor from DR that tasted horrible. The speciality restaurants were mostly booked because they were so small and the only option was the buffet so you were forced to eat there every day. The beef that they claimed was beef did not taste like beef at all. The jacuzzi which you would assume would be a hot tub was not hot at all. The pools were very cold most days. The WiFi was spotty at best and the tv only played local channels which would be fine if you were able to get a solid connection which most days we were not. The staff hounded you at the buffet entrance to ask you questions and get you to sit through a presentation to buy a room there. They had a members only bar that seemed decent but was not accessible to anyone but members understandably but that should be a paid option because the bar in there was nicer than the rest. The beach area was nice but seemed rundown. The chairs were falling apart. Overall I would not stay here again. Just based off the condition of the property and how many problems we had.
