With a shuttle to Sea World and pet packages available, there were lots of screaming kids and barking dogs. The restaurant service was terrible...first time, lunch took forever and we were out of water the whole time unable to flag anyone down. The second meal, room service breakfast, was doubled by accident but I was charged for it! The room delivery staff were very nice though. Needless to say we won’t be back.

Beautiful landscape and peaceful. Pools were inviting and not freezing cold. I didn’t like the discrepancy of one staff member saying one thing and then another saying a different thing on the same topic. I will get it in writing the next time.

It was clean nice hotel only thing for me would be better signs with areas because there is a lot of rooms and I had to back up a few times going to wrong room sites…and I’m older and it would’ve been easier if there was bigger signs on every little street saying what rooms were in the area

An ok stay

Parking pass for vehicles is a bit high. Our room was ok close to the pool which was nice for our child. The rooms were ok, walls super thin for a resort honestly. You think resort you think peace and quiet. Well that won’t be the case if you have someone staying in a room next to you. Those were the only things.
