I booked this room a week before our trip. When we got to the hotel to check in, we were told our room was given away because the hotel was overbooked. I had even called the day of to make them aware that we would be checking in later than the time i originally thought, just as a courtesy to THEM and i was assured that since my credit card was on file, i would be guaranteed my room. Well, they dropped the ball and we had no room, they had given it away. No one ever called me, even though the guy at the front desk said on my file it says someone called me to inform me my room was given away. Absolutely the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. I would never recommend this place. Save your money and go elsewhere. The employee at the front desk was so kind and so apologetic though for someone else’s screw up.

This place is nasty. They have ants 🐜. We had to be moved to another room because the ants were all over the floor. We left our bags in our car because we didn't feel comfortable having them in our room. When we went to inform the staff of the issue we were told we had to wait for her to finish doing her audit to be moved to another room. The next room was dirty beyond belief. The best part of this resort was the pool. When it was time to check out they refused to give us a receipt that's a whole other issue. We will not patronize this business again. Enjoy your stay do NOT eat in your room.

The suite was spacious and the bed was comfy, but the carpet was worn and in rough shape. We were there for the water park and the kids loved it! The food onsite was mediocre, but convenient. Overall a good stay for one night considering that this is a 3 star hotel.
