I didn’t stay at the property long, but Immediately upon check-in, I was driven to my villa by Chazz, and he was very friendly and he told me all about the property as he was driving me. I loved the villa, the rooms were nice and spacious and the balcony view was very nice! I definitely plan to return to the property soon.

This place very nice. Room we stayed in had all the amenities I was looking for and staff was great. It is a big property so walking is a must but side walks clean and everything was accessible one you got familiar with it. Bar restaurant was nice and bartenders excellent. 2 other restaurants under renovation so I can’t speak on those. Definitely will stay here again

It's a solid 3 star hotel. They claim it's 4 stars, but really it's just a good 3 star property. Very dated, but thoroughly cleaned after each guest and the price was reasonable, so we would stay again if the need arises.

Ick!

We stayed in the renovated building. While the room was clean and somewhat comfortable the rest of the resort is very rundown and dirty. The “waterpark” is a joke and the grounds are not what is pictured or what is advertised. We felt cheated of a nice relaxing weekend away.

I didn’t end up staying at the property because the rooms seemed a little outdated..check in lines were super long waited for over 40mins. It was difficult to find the actual room as your given a map to drive around and find…the ac unit in the room sounded very loud as well. Only nice thing is that they have 7 pools…
