During my stay in Room 1136 from August 14-16, 2024, I experienced persistent air conditioning issues that made the room uncomfortably warm, despite multiple reports to staff. This stay was meant to celebrate our anniversary, but instead, we endured nights in a room that remained at 26.5°C (78°F), making it difficult to relax or sleep. I specifically paid for a room with functioning air conditioning, yet I didn’t receive what I paid for. Despite being repeatedly assured that the issue would be fixed, it wasn't until late on August 16th that I was finally informed the problem couldn't be resolved, and I was offered a room change at an inconvenient hour. This disrupted our anniversary plans and made the stay thoroughly uncomfortable and disappointing. Given the significant discomfort, the lack of promised amenities, and the impact on our special occasion, I believe more substantial compensation is warranted.

The staff was wonderful although the pool area had a lot of people throwing items (playing catch) to one another and floating on giant rafts (despite the pool stating this wasn’t allowed via the signs). It wouldn’t be an issue altho it was extremely crowded and all of these extra pool activities were a bit annoying.

From the staff who cleaned every square inch to the servers to the greeters to the pool staff they were so courteous and helpful. Oh don’t forget those crazy ‘entertainers’ out by the pool that made everyday hilarious with the games and music and their antics and learning your name! Just fantastic! You are all top notch!

The beach is amazing in the property! No waves at the time we were there. The rooms are a bit outdated and smelled, however, when we requested assistance, a maintenance person came by the room and changed the filter which helped some. The food is really good at the Buffet. We only tried the Japanese restaurant which was pretty good. Tried to go to the steakhouse but the waits are insane! the food at the buffet was great so we went there instead. The hotel should try to work a better system with the restaurants. The entraining team really tries to get things going by the pool during the day. Entertainment at night time is not great... pretty boring I would say. The people that work here are all professional and very nice. We had a great time but do recommend improvement with reservation system with restaurants and working on the smell of the rooms.
