This resort was the absolute worst resort I have ver been to in my life. Right when we entered our room there was bloodstains all over the ground, meaning they didn’t mop. I asked what the standard was and she said they vacuum and mop. That’s false, our room was not vacuumed or mopped and the one they moved us into was the same thing, but I drove 9 hours from the Bay Area to come splurge on this hotel because we haven’t vacationed in a very long time so I said screw it let’s splurge on the resort because I wanted my girls to have a good time. It was horrible we stayed out the whole day and only used it for sleeping and when we checked out the pools and it was absolutely disgusting. Oh, when I complained the supervisor didn’t reach out, no one cared, not one comment.

Great room, great amenities, the resort was so nice.
Location was great, the only reason I don’t give 5 stars is, the room need was not clean enough they were stains in the couch and on the rug, and room was a little smelly other then that place was great.
We love this property!! This was our 2nd time staying. We booked for NYE, which although it was raining, we were still able to enjoy the jacuzzi. Check in was smooth, and you can’t beat the location. Still close to the liveliness of downtown, and old town, but quiet enough for a nice getaway. The bay view is gorgeous, and the christmas tree light up from Seaworld was a nice surprise. Definitely recommend this property. The only downfall being the $45/ night parking. We will be back in the summer for full usage!
