This was definitely the worst property I’ve stayed at. Which is only a bigger concern because it was rated 4.2/5 and listed a a 3 star resort. There was zero resemblance what so ever to the photos. Every single aspect of the room was starkly different. This trip alone has completely changed my trust in Travelocity. Every towel, and I mean all of them, were covered in hair and bugs and brown stuff. I took videos of this. There was also some random people roaming the lot at 3am. I was woken up at 8:30am by knocking at the door, I tried ignoring it since I was in bed having not got back to the hotel till around 3am. The knocking got harder and more aggressive so I thought maybe it was the police letting me know my car was broken into or something. I answered the door in my underwear and it was just housekeeping. However I was happy to ask for new towels since I couldn’t use any of the ones I had. Unfortunately since the room itself was so different incredibly from the listing and the experience was so far from the reviews. I’m not sure I trust using Travelocity anymore.

The rooms smelled bad. The outside is not clean. The breakfast is horrible. They do not have control over what Expedia is putting out there and not checking to see that they are overbooked for the same room. They expected 4 people to sleep in one bed. Nobody is being notified of this overbooking before hey get there- you just get to your vacation to a horrible surprise. We ended sleeping on the floor. They didn’t have enough pillows. They fixed my second night but unfortunately ruined our 1st stay. Could be a great place for the location they are in. They need new systems in place

Expedia booked the wrong type of room is what we were told when our rooms didn’t match the description of what we reserved and paid for. One room was completely wet and smelled like a crime scene. The other just smelled really bad. The breakfast was horrible. No eggs.

We would definitely come back again

We rented two rooms our family said they really enjoyed their room we also enjoyed our room we had a deluxe to bed room with the stove and refrigerator was very handy probably could use more silverware and bigger frying pan! We enjoyed the pool even though a lot of people complained it was too small there was probably 15 people in it and it wasn't bad at all.

We want to thank Chris & Renee, they were very helpful and kind. We are so thankful that they went beyond helping us! They made our day! They didn't know this but it was our 49th wedding anniversary on Friday so Saturday they gave a gift that we'll always be thankful for. May God bless them & their family abundantly! The room was clean & comfortable, pillows & carpet can use a little update though. ❤️🙏
