I booked two separate rooms, one with 2 adults and the other for 2 adults and a child. On the rooms that I booked it said it would fit 3 guests. Upon arrival they tell me that my room can only fit 2 people and I would need to pay for a rollaway. The pictures make the resort look so much nicer than it is. I definitely will not come back or recommend this place.

Won't recommend. The service is poor, both times after my late check in (close to midnight) when I asked for late check out they said the standard thing that they can only extend 30 min and then $30 per extra hour. The hotel was mostly empty and their restaurant was basically empty for breakfast. They charge $24 for parking, and $7 for black coffee. Oh, the room had ants. The first time I stayed the room had a musty odor from the carpet and it took us a while to adjust to our room.

Not as expected 😕

So first off we came in late from an all day family trip from SeaWorld and the check-in took a bit long regarding with my credit card. Then getting our key to our room the room had a thing hanging from our Windows towards the balcony area not pleasing at all. The pictures when we booked looked a lot different people were really loud out in the pool area I'm talking all night where it was hard to sleep I was expecting for a relaxed time to sleep off the fun-filled day we had but instead I just tried to be comfortable and ignore all that sounds around us. I also forgot to mention that I got charged on my credit card for the overnight parking when I did that the night before with cash so just very inconvenience of an overall experience.

We opted for a premium room with a patio. The room was very nice. It was clean and the bed was fairly comfortable (I’m a harsh critic of beds because it’s hard to match what I have at home). Our lodging experience was very pleasant. Would definitely stay again.

I liked my stay! I stayed in a beautiful balcony room facing the pool. Lounged all day with the window open listening to the breeze as I got ready for my night at the theater. The room was clean and spacious, and the noise complaints I had read really didn't bother me as it was a quiet night I suppose. I wish I had brought swim suit as the few people in the pool and hot tub made me incredibly jealous, even though it was a chilly night the pool seemed to heated and warm enough to get in. My one complaint was that I had wanted to eat dinner and have drinks in the hotel restaurant but it was closed! On a Saturday night i was kind of shocked that it was. They had the pool bar open and we decided to have a drink there which was.. okay, the staff very nice but it was so awkward because they kind of just stared at you, I kept thinking to myself "say hi! your working in customer service" i was always the first one to engage in a hello first which just made me feel uneasy and I wanted to just finish my drink and the get out of there. Other than that experience, I would stay here again and again, just maybe make reservations for dinner and drinks elsewhere ahead of time.
