Not enough staff. Ran out of drinks multiple times. Terrible buffet food. No reservations for restaurants so can only wait in line for hours to possibly get table. Paid for upgraded room but did not get the upgrade. Horrible.

wifi did not work at all the first 2 days and spotty afterwards. house phone did not work the 1st day, could not communicate with our party. Food was not good. Published schedules were not accurate, hit and miss. You never knew where you could or could not eat.

The hotel itself was lovely, however, they charged us almost $1000 extra for our children even after we paid for them. They said it was an "administrative mistake" and we had a balance. This is predatory behavior. Completely ruined the experience.

Not only is there no atm, no laundromat, spotty internet, one cup of coffee only, fixed ac at 75 degrees, the ac doesnt work half the time, phones were down so had to go to the front whenever there was an issue, fire alarm went off at midnight, youre not allowed to use the luggage tote without staff, restaurant says no reservations, but u need reservations lol, we had to change rooms 2x due to ac issues, phone issues etc, only 2 towels per room for 3 people... get that math, u have to use a room key to turn lights on and that means a 2nd room key if u want to leave and the rest of ur party have lights, and thats $20 a card, u need a towel card to check out a towel, but room cleaning takes ur towels... so ya, another $20 hit. Overall horrible. AirBnB next time for me and my 2 kiddos. They were frustrated at the lack of ac, fire alarm, bland food, dirty beach, and the all night party that makes it hard to rest. No ac in any eating areas, makes food a little sketchy too. New addition puts u a half mile from the beach too, so that sure was a daily workout, 1 mile round trip, and not making that up lol

My friends and I had such an amazing time here. The staff was beyond friendly , always went above and beyond. The pools were great and loved the pool bars. Drinks tasted great and kept on coming. Excursions around the area were so much fun. Only down side about this hotel is the restaurants they have are soooo small and super annoying to make reservations for. We ended up only trying two of the restaurants. The buffets however were tasty and offered good options!!

Dining options were not the best, and the process to reserve a dining time was a horrible experience. If you don't mind eating at the buffet every night, you will be ok.
