Great family vacation with many activities for all age levels. Only downfalls were the ability to get dinner at the steakhouse was impossible and the lack of room service was not great but bearable. The AC did not seem to work well anywhere. Restaurants and Bars were hot and room didn’t ever get cold. Needs some work on these things for sure, but for not being a palace level resort, I get it.

My family and I had an overall great stay. The staff were friendly, the hotel was modern, clean and well kept. The entertainment was good but needed more variety. The food was good and there was lots of variety but I found it a bit salty. I liked how most of that food was marked as I am someone who doesn’t eat pork.

Overall was a good experience people most of the time were friendly and the entertainment team was always busy and offering things to for. a few downsides POOLS WERE HOT like hot tub hot bars were not very accessible (open around 10, two open during the day, only by the pool then they closed early and then lobby and other bars opened in evening, long lines) not enough areas to dine creating long lines, asked for towels was promised towels never came :/
