the staff was not friendly at all. Only the person at check in was nice to us. Everyone else, servers, bartenders, cleaning crew, were always rushing us during our stay and not friendly. I also had a very disgusting situation at one of the restrooms by the pool closer to the Colonial Buffet. The bathroom had poop on the walls and the door.

Properly is a little outdated. Wall plugs in the room are all old and loose. None of the chargers stayed in, plus as it keeps falling out. YouTube and all other apps on the tv doesn’t work bcuz the WiFi doesn’t connects. Toilet water keeps running the whole time and doesn’t stop. Was noisy and Annoying at night. In room towels were all old, dry and ripped, needs newer one please. Housekeeping personnel’s were all awesome. Great job.

We spent a lot of money for a weeks vacation and the pictures they have advertised are not what it is when arriving. There is only one restaurant to make reservations, the rest are buffets and the food was awful. Not only did we get sick but a few others we met at the resort said they were sick. We had several problems with our room they said on multiple occasions they would send someone never did. I will not be back here and will not recommend to anyone, as they didn’t even offer us a credit or anything .

The food at the main Buffett hall was delicious for every meal while we were there. The staff were very friendly and engaging for entertainment. The room was terrible. Beds were uncomfortable. Sliding doors to the bathroom and terrace didn’t work without hard work. We arrived to not enough towels and the sheets all had stains. The bathroom had not been cleaned as there was urine stains on the toilet. The rooms look like a motel off the highway. They also didn’t have the room that we reserved when we booked 2 months earlier. The beach was great and the pools are nice and open 24 hours but they are not cleaned often. The sports bar was great for end of the night fun with the family. Games to play and sports to watch. Lots of entertainment throughout the day which was good.
