Needs major renovations. Full of families for the water park, which most were there for. Stayed in a suite and the dishwasher did not work, pans and utensils were very “used.” Staff smoking right outside of entrances. Would not recommend.

The pictures make the rooms look MUCH bigger than they actually are. With a 4pm check in and 11 am check out they definitely could have done a better job cleaning the rooms. They tell you to put your towels in the hall by your door and they will replace them, however twice we had to go get towels from the frint desk in the main building ourselves.

I’ve stayed here twice now and it was good. Rooms are comfortable. The coffee maker didn’t work which was disappointing with so few options in the area to get coffee in the morning. Other than that the stay was great with great food option onsite for dinner at the Waterfront grill.

The resort itself was ok. The weather was off and on with rain. The afternoon that we checked in was beautiful, so we were terribly disappointed to find the outdoor water park closed. The next day, they were open, but the weather was cool and it rained off and on. Just not a great experience. We had a suite next to us with children that were screamers. Our room was clean, but the armoire was old and rattled when we walked around. The shower was noisy. Overall, they simply need to update and fix things. It was a very expensive stay, and not worth the money.

Room reserved for 6 people, however only 2 pool bracelets awarded? I was asked to pay each day for my third of a six person paid room. Seemed like everyone in that reservation should be granted a wristband. Indoor service for alcoholic beverages was a slumping staff, reviewing her personal mobile phone was off putting. The front office staff was polite. The room was clean. The instructions for room service were clear. The swim up bar didn’t have an advertised Bracco Sunset due to mango machine being out of service. Bar staff accommodating, however. Seemed ice cream was always unavailable. Ordered a Brandy Alexander & was unfortunately informed the bar was out of ice cream… disappointed 😔
