We stayed here for a wedding. The resort is huge but they don’t have enough staff to handle the arrival of guests! Our unit needs improvement, outdated! The signs to locate our unit were not as visible specifically at night, good thing there were staff on golf carts and they were nice enough to direct us! We brought our grandchildren and they truly enjoyed the pool and recreation area!

We very much enjoyed our stay! Having read some other reviews, I was worried that our room would be dirty but we found it to be very clean. There is so much to do on the property and it’s a short drive to several beaches, parks and downtown areas. I love walking outside and felt safe walking around the property. All of the staff we encountered were very friendly. It was an enjoyable stay.

First time staying at this place and we got the 2 bedroom suite. When we got to the room suddenly a technician came to fix one of the bedroom’s sliding door due to the safety issue. We weren’t notified or anything. I think the previous tenant was complaining about the door. Anyway, we just didn’t understand why they gave us a room that basically wasn’t ready. We also found someone’s sock under the bed and moving bugs everywhere. The sofa bed was very very very gross. We found hair everywhere & lots of dirt down there. We called the front desk to ask for a room change but they said due to the policy they weren’t able to do so since we booked it through Expedia. They said I had to call Expedia & told them what happened since they’re more like a timeshare building thing. What a weird & lame excuse… but here I am writing my bad experience with this place. I’m pretty sure I won’t go back or recommend this place to anyone.
