The room advertised wasn’t the room I got, I paid a lot of money and the room didn’t even have a microwave the room was old and run down

It was wonderful. I’ve been there in the past and their service is stellar. You can just enjoy time by the pool with the family or as a couple then move to beach if you want. Their breakfast buffet and lunch choices are great. Their evening restaurant choices are ok if you want to stay on property but most folks go outside the hotel for dinner. They had lots of options for tours and their cabana prices are reasonable for the day if you just want to lounge.

If you get a chance give this place a look. 7 minutes from the airport and near a few casinos if you like to gamble.

Roaches in the room.

Over priced, on two separate occasions we found roaches in our room. Will not go back.

Overall a nice resort, the only issue we had was trouble with accessing our rooms. After checking in and getting to the door we could not get into the room. The Porter came to assist and realized the battery in the scanner was not working. We waited for about 20 minutes and no one showed up. We were then moved to another room. By the second day this happened again with the new room and we had to wait for them to come change the batteries. This seems like the resort is not routinely checking the doors and it takes away from the vacation by having to spend it talking to staff and waiting in hallways instead of the comfort of your room. While the resort is nice this experience was not up to par and it would not be my first choice to return.
