We have stayed here several times and have never been disappointed. The entire resort is decorated and landscaped beautifully, fresh flowers everywhere! The rooms are lovely, very clean and well-appointed. The on-site activities are fun - several pools, bikes, walking trails, golf, spa, etc. The restaurants and bars are just as you'd expect. The staff are extremely well-mannered and friendly.... More

We stayed here for Easter and had a great time. We checked out bikes, played tennis, swam in the pools and floated in the lazy river. IT WAS BUSY. There were a lot of families here. Wristbands were required to enter the pool. My husband couldn't handle the children and went to the spa pool (for $25) and loved it.... More

What else could you want? We have stayed here a couple of times and have enjoyed every aspect of the resort. First of all, it is an enormous property. However, you never feel the mass of humanity in a 950 room hotel. The layout is perfect, and the outdoor facilities are widely spread out. I think there were about four... More

The JW offers desert class with an awesome pool, great food, and the most friendly and helpful service. The lazy river is a must. Rooms are very comfortable with awesome bathrooms and quiet AC units. Already trying to find a reason to come back!

So first I'll state the obvious, this place is absolutely gorgeous. The grounds are pristine, and the number of pools is every child's dream. I was recently here for work and brought my daughter and mother in law along for some quality bonding time. Check in was relatively quick although nothing special. When I visited the front desk the next... More

The whole family stayed in this hotel when we accompanied my husband for a company event recently and just loved it. We were there 5 years ago and it is still well-maintained and gorgeous. The landscaping on the grounds is lovely. The grounds are enormous! The ballrooms are huge with gigantic ceilings - perfect for functions requiring large theatrics. The... More

Live entertainment every weekend!! Spa is as large as a small hotel; large swimming pool surrounded by 30 palm trees. Lazy river and two gyms, top of the line Hawain fusion restaurant. Watched a hawk feeding her chicks from the hot tub in the spa. Ambroisia and flowers giving a sweet smell everywhere. Six star resort reminiscent of "top notch"... More

The reception was extremely efficient, from the valet, through check-in. The room was big and convenient. Dinner at Roy's was outstanding. Our server was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and responsive. When I mentioned that I was a vegetarian she wipped out a menu and made recommendations which turned out to be spot-on. However, this is a big resort. By all means go... More
