Request issue

The place was great esp with the kids. We love how they have alot of activities available for guest. The only drawback was room service. We called in for extra pillows the first day we arrived. It never came despite my follow up call even after the 1hr turn around time. My husband called the following day again and same thing, never came even with follow up. We just gave up and didnt bother to request for it again.

I love the esthetics of the resort. The staff were very nice in showing you around when you get lost of the humongous resort. The only issue I had was at checking in. We got there at 1 and dwcided to see if maybe our room was ready. The front desk receptionist could not find my reservation by my itinerary or reservation number which was very embarrassing. I waited for almost an hoyr before tge manager finally found it. Once they found it I thought okay we should be able to get our room right away. Right away I was told our room is not ready and that they would text us when it is ready. Surprisingly, everyone wlse were being assigned their rooms right away. Ti make the story short, I came back 2 hours later when our roomnis supposed to be ready at 4 b/c that's is the check in time, the room was still nit ready. We waited until about 5pm for our room to be ready.

Just ok

Room was in pretty good condition. However, we called for bedding since we had none for our pullout and it took 10 calls, and 7 hours later for them to finally come. We are taking midnight and the kids had to stay up since they didn’t have any blankets. No apologies, no credits nothing. They didn’t even want to let us have a late checkout.

Water aerobics blasting music at 8:00am woke us up. 15 min away from more major dining. Parking was limited - we had to park at other complexes and walk over to our room. Room was spacious - but outdated- 3 star status. Pools crowded and no lounge chairs available and multiple times run out of towels. No wifi in higher rooms.
