Based on the Expedia photos and reviews (along with the fact that Appy was listed under ‘resorts’ - we feel it was severely misrepresented and the property/amenities were nowhere near as nice as we expected. Pretty sure the guy that checked us in was stoned. Bunch of kid running around in this tiny really hick looking lobby. We get into our room and the floor is dirty, there’s a poop stain in the toilet, brown liquid in the sink, and the AC unit is covered in gunk from old spills that were never cleaned up. Took photos of all of this. A nice find was also that the AC unit wasn’t big enough to cool the whole room enough to sleep so that was just lovely on top of everything else. Definitely the worst pillows Ive ever slept on so plan on bringing your own. Walls are paper thin and could hear kids running around all day and night. Don’t be fooled by the photos - the outdoor pool is more like one giant 3 foot bathtub. Not even sure why they built it. Not enough chairs for more than half a dozen people to lay out. Unfortunately my girlfriend suffered her first ever seizure while we were there (unsure as to why yet) so we spent the 2nd day after we checked in letting her rest and get recovered from it. After that we asked to leave the property and go stay somewhere else. They were “nice” enough not to charge us for the remainder of the stay but offered no refund for the first two nights with the room conditions the way they were. In short - stay away
