Needs updated badly
The bed was very comfortable but the room itself was very dated and run down. Light switches were filthy (see picture), screen on the balcony was dry rotted. It was hard to sleep with the pool lights shining in through the Venetian blinds and kids screaming around the pool until late at night. The Drafts sports bar was great!

Everyone was friendly, i enjoyed myself. Outside of being asked about timeshare i wish they had transportation to the water parks as i was surprised since they had staff at the theme park for they representative to market. Also wish they had breakfast/room services.maybe i over looked that part. That was only minor overall it was a great experience for me and my family !! Especially the amenities on the grounds.. thank you!!

When planning on staying on this property, everything I read implied there was more to it....For example, it looked like there were 4 restaurants on stie, there was in fact only 1 restaurant. The others were a small cafe with weak coffee and burnt sandwiches, a tiny stand with stale looking pizza, and a sandwich shop (which shared the pizza stand counter). There was seating in the area, but not a traditional restaurant. They also said there was a bowling alley.....it was a mini "bowling experience" with tiny palm sized balls and a half-sized lane. Might be my fault for not reading all the fine detail? But in the end the resort looked like it offered much more. Oh and the day we arrived we were offered a free breakfast for the next day and a gift of $100 in vouchers for the on-site "restaurants" and a free 3 day/2 night future stay...What they didn't tell us was the breakfast required a 2-hr timeshare presentation. At the end they tired to make us sign a contract locking us into paying $40,000 over the next 10 years to get vacations there for life.....yeah great I would love to come here every single year for the rest of my life and not experience any other place (insert sarcastic eye roll...) The property itself was nice, but not THAT nice. And they try to make you feel bad and dumb saying vacations should be your priority in life and everything else should be on the back burner. I'm not signing a contract locking me into $40,000 without doing my research first. SCAM
