I paid a lot of money for 2 night at the hotel. The first night there were kids and teenagers running up and down the halls until after midnight. Slamming doors and screaming, me and my kids got next to no sleep. On top of that, there were at least 20 to 25 pidgins outside of our room on the balcony making noises all night. I never would have book a room for those nights if I’ve known this was going to happen. I couldn’t be more disappointed.

Online said $0 deposit to stay then when I got to the property to check in I got hit with a $300 deposit. Outrageous. If I could afford to be charged a last minute cancellation fee I would’ve cancelled right there and went elsewhere. Will not be back.

Drip drip...

This was during a rain/windstorm. Room had a balcony, the balcony door leaked. it was very loud wind noise and with the dripping it didn't provide a restful sleep. Pool was nice. My kid liked the waterslides...
