Disappointing. For a Vacation Club, this was unimpressive. Room was freezing and temp not easy to change - they had to send up an engineer - who was able to adjust it. TV impossible to figure out. Parking around our unit was difficult, especially when 3 spaces were taken by the hotel staff's golf carts. The room needs updating. The facilities definitely cater to an older clientele. They charge resort fees and then nicely ask you to help them clean up before you go (take the trash out, strip linens, etc.) Front desk and concierge were friendly. Highly recommend the on-site spa, Bello Vita.

Decent family spot

Overall the stay was fine. Our unit was not as clean as I would have hoped and we ordered ice and a pack and play two times before they brought it. Then they left the ice and pack and play outside so the ice melted on the pack and play before we knew it has arrived. They also came to pick up the pack and play while we were still in the unit. Well before check out. I will say my 2 young boys had a wonderful time at the pool and playground!
