I've been many times in PDC Resorts, This one in particular is not the best. Place is super clean though, friendly staff. Great food. Even though they state it's good for Families, they don't offer the usual variety of entertaining activities for kids other Resorts offer.

Cons- My room was not ready until 4:30. I had booked 4 rooms for my family. All of the rooms were ready except for mine. We had to dig through our luggage in our son’s room to find our bathing suits to put on so that we could go to the pool. There were no bellhops so we had to bring our own luggage to our room and carry it up the stairs to the second floor. Pros- We liked that we were always able to get a table to accommodate the 13 of us without waiting. We enjoyed all of the food except the Asian food. The rooms were nice ands clean. The resort was kid friendly.
