"They advertise that they have kitchens but they all do not. The bathtub does not drain so we had to stand in water to take a shower. The staff did not want to help us bc we booked through Expedia. But I’m sure she still could have given us a different room. We had a great time the pool was great and location was wonderful. Housekeepers were friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back but get a diffrent room."

"We enjoyed our stay in general. The highlights are the made to order breakfast , and the 5:30-7:00 happy hour, both included. We really enjoyed the staff at these events. We loved being close to everything and we walked around daily. The only area which I'd suggest improvements were housekeeping. We stayed 7 days and each day we had to go out and look for staff to give us more coffee, towels, and we had to leave our garbage in the hall to be emptied. Finally on day 4, we asked how we could get service to the room. The desk staff requested service on the computer, and they did come later the next day. For people who paid $3000 in costs for accommodation for the week, I would like to see a system in place where it isn't such a guessing game to have these services provided. It's ironic that the people staying the longest get the poorest service."
