Very nice location! We liked thr scenery and how it was away from a lot of the main traffic from disney and universal. What we disliked is that we took a couples vacation and we had loud and noisy neighbors we informed the hotel staff and at one point o went out and nicely asked them to be quiet and they didnt care. Rhen we went to the adult relaxation pool and there were kids there. We called staff twice snd they didnt do anything about it. I jave kids of my own so i understand hacing kids but this vacation was irritated by others people kids who dont know how to read the pool rules. Staff needs to do better

Room was not clean, cheap toilet paper, noisy (can hear other rooms), our kitchen light dim/flickered. The resort is so big walks are long and they offer shuttle but only saw one the 5 days we were there. I got lost several times and staff wasnt helpful. I got a call breakfast was included but when i showed up it was a selling pitch and was told in order to get it i would have to sit an hour long presentation. I didnt like how they went about it.
