Awesome staff-kid friendly environment

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. Everything was well-maintained, and we really appreciated how clean everything was throughout the hotel. There were also fun things for the kids to enjoy, which made our stay even better. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!

The place can use some TLC but the staff is extremely friendly, especially the housekeepers. The bed was so comfortable and offered both a soft and a firm pillow. Nice pool. The back of the hotel has outdoor only hallways made up of partially painted cement in a horrid brown. It doesnt match the interior of the rooms. It makes you feel like you are going from staying at a 1 star motel to a 3 star hotel. That is odd. It could use some sprucing up with maybe beach decor out pastel colors.

I liked having the restaurant and bar on the premises. The wait for and the elevators were extremely hot, no air in either. The rooms were nice and cool. The maid staff was wonderful. The bar staff was slow as can be but nice. If you’re not a kid person, this is the wrong hotel for you. Lots of kids and kid activities. Check your bill carefully before leaving the premises. I would go back.

Overpriced and hidden charges

Overpriced hidden charges for $600 I would expect children not to be running through the Halls people being loud people smoking marijuana in a non-smoking facility and charging for early check-in charging an amenity when the amenities they offered were for people for children not for adults and the children stayed in the pool area until close not following the rules there for adults cannot go down and enjoy themselves I would recommend an 8:00 p.m. curfew for children so adults can enjoy themselves as well especially after paying $600 for one night.
