Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Beautiful property and suite with lots of pools and everything you could use or need inside the room. A little dated but It was huge with a washer and dryer which was very convenient. Great location. Near many shops, restaurants and highways. I didn't like that the toilet clogged daily. The bathroom was Dirty with someone's hair in it. Waterpark is expensive and should be free or included in The resort fee and if it rains or thunders they shut down and you get no money back. Which of course happened. You should at least get a credit to come back. Front desk staff were great with the exception of the Starbucks lady who was not friendly and does not dare make your coffee not like a traditional Starbucks. No instructions as to what to do with trash. Overall a very nice property nice staff and a few things to consider working on.

I love that there were like 7 pools there. That the property was close to Walmarts and a lot of restaurants. It was less than 10 minutes from Universal Studio and 20 mins from Magic Kingdom.

The rooms need to be updated, all the furniture were old, not in good condition, bad smell of food every morning, don’t have pool towels, the bar by the pool closed early and the water park closed early and the pools at the water park area are super small only for toddler 3 ft. Deep, in the village area the ice cream place, the game room and the bar closed at 10 pm , there’s lack for food and drink’s or fun, if you want to get good dinner you have to go outside restaurant . Didn’t like it at all, the staff is very unfriendly, the insistent to participate in their breakfast invitation traying to get you to buy a timeshare of them is crazy they don’t respect when you tell them that you’re not interested, they gay that works there for them he’s name is Rafael he was calling us at midnight, super late at night, texting us it was ridiculous at the end I had to block he’s number , he was very rude . I don’t recommend for no one to stay there.

I enjoyed my stay overall, but there were a few things that were irritating. The lady who checked us in wasn’t clear in her speech. Accent, low volume, etc. I'm not a mind or lip reader. Second, to get to the suite you have to pass a security checkpoint. They ask for my parking pass? Umm, never got one. So after some back and forth he let's us through and says get it next time we go out. Inconvenience. The room was nice and clean. No complaints in that regard. Would I stay there again? Sure.

The room was nice and very clean. But the first day there the fridge went out, and it took 2 days to even get true help. It was replaced, but after it caused food to go bad. Every time u call for anything it takes forever to get any help! It took 3 calls and 6 hours tp get a simple toll of tp. NO they do not care about ur loss.
