Great stay!!! We had an oceanfront room that was beautiful!! Bottles of water from the desk upon arrival, staff friendly, rooms super clean and tiki bar was a plus!! Kayaks and bikes are free to use on the property. My boys loved that!! The free shuttle van the hotel provides is a huge bonus! You can use it within 4 miles to go anywhere and the driver Nick is awesome!!! One negative is that tiki bar kitchen closes at 10pm, which was a bummer because we were all hungry for something for a late night snack. We will definitely be back !!!!

El hotel no tiene suficientes sillas para la playa o la piscina especialmente durante los feriados vacacionales ademas el hotel ofrece su instalaciobes en resort pass y la piscina se llena demasiado lo que no es justo para los que pagan hospedaje. Las llaves de agua no funcionan estan rotas en el lavadero cono en la ducha. Y hay un olor como a colchon mojaso todo el tiempo en el cuarto.

A really wonderful resort with a lovely pool and tiki bar area. The staff were all very welcoming and the hotel was kept very clean. The rooms are large and clean, if slightly dated. Would definitely look to visit again.

Not very quiet, pool area restricted to what is sold at the restaurant which allows theme park pricing.Staff were responsive and great with additional requests. Room was ok but paid for lanai that had no breeze and was uncomfortable to sit . There was a stain in chair inside that resembles feces behind a pillow on the chair, but I am sure the room was otherwise clean.

I wanted to start by saying we did love our stay but for the price thought it was necessary for major major improvements. Check in is at 4 which is late to begin with but our room wasn’t ready until after 4 and come to find out they start cleaning rooms for check outs at 8:00 am even if the check out time is 11:00. We added a night to our reservation separately and were awoken at 8 even though the check in had said we just had to come down to reactivate our room key and nothing else would be an issue. The cleaning service continued to come to our room as if we were checking out and I told the front desk again, she responded “fine I’ll tell them” as if that shouldn’t have been done the day before and that morning when I came down and spoke to her about it. The restaurant on site was extremely overpriced. Claims 2 restaurants on site, only one. Service was good for some tables but horrible for us, no one came over but the water lady. Waitress came after 20 minutes wrote down our food and never came back until check but it wasn’t even busy. Once that was situated no other issues with staff, pool and bar staff were phenomenal. We loved the pool, bar, happy hour, games on the beach, rented bikes and paddle boards, and all the activities they have planned. This made it feel like a resort. When we first got there we were feeling like a glorified motel, the parking lot and rooms on left need major updating. All rooms could use updates, no fancy lobby can hide that.
