6/10 Good

Affordable but won’t be back soon
Started off rough, go to pull up to registration and valet was rude as can be, elected to self park only to be met by a psycho crazy guest yelling at me I can’t park in the spot she was holding for her family who was5 or 6 cars behind me. Ask a worker for assistance to be told it’s not his problem and he doesn’t want to be involved. Check in itself was smooth Antonio was very nice and professional Construction made navigation difficult, workers were not very friendly either Room itself was nice except for the sliding doors track was messed up and we couldn’t get the door to properly open or close. Called the front desk to let them know, nobody from maintenance ever came by to look at it. Pools were clean Restaurants were decent Alcohol Drinks were terrible, everything tasted like bottom shelf and old Staff had no personality and was kind of rude in general Shuttle driver Joe was amazing and great person to talk too $25 per person for the “water park” was a ripoff, just spend the extra few bucks and go somewhere else law

It was the worst place I have ever stayed at. Conditions of the room were unexceptionable. dirty blankets, shower heads were broken, doors were hard to open, walls had scrapes should have been painted, main bathroom floor still had hair on the floor, no coffee pot, phone was not working, comforter was stained.

4/10 Fair

Family Reunion weekend
It is a big, spread out property. Our chech in was fine, but it was before the 4pm time. Closer to 4pm, the line was LONG. 1. Our key cards didn't work upon arrival. We waited 40 minutes and 2 phobe calls to get in. Then one evening late, they deactivated again. Security came in about 15 minutes. Luckily we didn't have to walk back to the lobby. 2. We went for a family reunion with an official group block set of rooms, but the families were spread over multiple buildings. 3. Amenities- the marina/paddle boat/pontoon rental was not open during our 2 night stay.
