Check-in took about 10 minutes as well and shortly after i was in... More

Was my fourth trip to this hotel. My first day ended with a foot injury due to a defective pool ladder on the one pool that was open. The second pool was closed for repairs and the beach was nonexistent. Pool restaurant staff were rude and did not pay attention to guests. Beach restaurant staff would not let us stay... More

There are many reasons why I keep returning to this place that I now consider my second home. From the moment you get off... More

So as many people do I checked out trip advisor reviews before choosing a hotel for our family vacation. Everyone has a different opinion I think because they come with different expectations. It really depends on who you are traveling with and what type of vacation you want. I traveled with my family for an anniversary so we had a... More
