The rooms need to be updated, all the furniture were old, not in good condition, bad smell of food every morning, don’t have pool towels, the bar by the pool closed early and the water park closed early and the pools at the water park area are super small only for toddler 3 ft. Deep, in the village area the ice cream place, the game room and the bar closed at 10 pm , there’s lack for food and drink’s or fun, if you want to get good dinner you have to go outside restaurant . Didn’t like it at all, the staff is very unfriendly, the insistent to participate in their breakfast invitation traying to get you to buy a timeshare of them is crazy they don’t respect when you tell them that you’re not interested, they gay that works there for them he’s name is Rafael he was calling us at midnight, super late at night, texting us it was ridiculous at the end I had to block he’s number , he was very rude . I don’t recommend for no one to stay there.

They tried to sell us a timeshare in the beginning. Wasn’t expecting that. Our room was very far away from anything and that was tough with little kids. Would have paid more for something closer the property is very big. Cockroaches in the room on the last night was disappointing and the room was outdated/rough in spots (I.e light bulbs need replace do etc). All in all I would say our visit was ok till the end. This place was safe and quiet so we liked that. But will not consider this report in the future.

Had bad experience with the airlines on this app lost a date due to cancellation kept asking Expedia for help on negotiations with the hotel and was getting the runaround with customer support according to them they weren’t able to get a hold of anyone at the hotel regarding the matter?? I still went there and stayed and paid for an upgrade and they still didn’t help on the late day arrival that was faulty mechanics on the airline and airline (frontier) was just as bad going as it was coming back flight also delayed several times and then cancelled on me with again having to stay at a hotel elsewhere because I already checked out my hotel and didn’t want to deal with the aggravation again

The WiFi wasn’t great, especially when you have 2 children on iPads. We had to call to get 2 out of the 3 tv’s to work. There were water pressure issues a couple of days. One night we got home late and had to park very far from our building. But we liked it overall and would stay there again. Staff was very friendly.
