Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The splash/toddler area was not open even though the pool had water in it. We were just told there was a maintenance issue. We were not informed of this before check in. It was my 2 year olds birthday and booked a room there so he could play in that area. Staff said nothing they could do. Other pools were very very overcrowded

I'd look elsewhere
For the room price, it’s okay. The pools are on bad shape, disgusting and under kept. Two of the kids we had sliced their foot open on something in one of the pools (another reason we didn’t swim long). One of the jacuzzi’s was down. The room with the kid pool was FREEZING. We stayed in the other pool room but all in all only swam for about two hours. We went during spring break in hopes that they would have the swim bar open (considering they had spring break packages) but it was closed. While we was in the pool, I noticed a “lifeguard” get down off her post, walk around to the stairs (all while not speaking a word or whistling or trying to get anyone’s attention) and by then I was scanning the pool to notice a little girl bobbing up and down trying not to drown because she was in too deep of water. I began to holler to the parents in the area that there was a child who couldn’t reach and thankfully the parent was able to reach the child. I’m not sure what the point of the lifeguards are if they are not going to do their job and alert those around them or even attempt to help the child. Another huge turn off was that I opted to pay for my room when I arrived. When I got there the front desk staff told me that the card on file had already been charged. I asked why, considering it wasn’t my card on file, he said it was their policy. That is not the policy that I read when I booked the room. It said that I would be paying at the site upon arrival.

The only thing that was a disappointment was that the pool area that had the swim bar was not open either day that we were there due to lack of lifeguards.

We liked the pools. We wished it had breakfast included. We liked that we could swim while waiting for our room to be ready when we got there early and being able to swim after we checked out. The staff were helpful and kind when we needed anything.

We had a poolside room, but the pool was not open while we stayed there. We paid for a poolside room when we booked it, but they did adjust the price to a regular room after not having a pool available to us. We thought that was a fair trade.
