Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
They show the resort map on the website, but everything is spread out, and there’s one pool that’s out of construction, the issue is they don’t tell you which one and for us traveling with a 2 year old toddler the goal was to relax, not only was all the amenities in our community broken, we had to drive out of the resort and back into the resort for the amenities. They do have golf carts, but it’s not safe for toddlers and I have attached the map, if you can see the drive requires us to get back on the street. They were able to switch rooms for us. I’m sharing this hoping no one with small children will go through what we went through. When you book the room it doesn’t say which community your room will be located, because they told me that’s how the rooms are sold and expedia should have informed me the community where my room was in, which I did not know, and since I’ve never been, I didn’t know the layout of the resort, that’s why I’m sharing the photo here.

Been coming for years love the place! Vacation sales provided top quality customer service as did food and beverage. Pizza hut too! However front desk needs more training as not clear about charges such as resort fee verses incidental vs room deposit. Check out at front desk associate was rude and short with me. Not friendly at all. Probably needs more training or another job.
