Our building had its own pool and beach access, the office and resturant building was a walk to access. Arcade was tokens only, and machine wouldnt take money to exchage for tokens, bummer for the kids. Soap despensers in bathroom, in my room was empty. Small amount of shampoo became our bath/hand soap. Late check in.

The room was Hot! The AC hardly worked, we had it on 60° the whole time we were there and the room never got cold. The people beside us started partying at 12 midnight and lasted all night long, Very noisy. They do not provide ice machines. There is an ice machine in the lobby but you must pay $6 for a 7 lb bag. Across the street Walmart has ice for $2.03 for a 7lb bag. Parking was limited.

As far as clean beds and a place to stay it was fine. Housekeeping sucked. They didnt clean or change towels or sheets but once every 4 days. They only gave 2 rolls of toilet paper. If we needed clean towels we had to go request them from the front desk ourselves. Dont expect anything great from them. Also no ice machines, we were told we could use the ice at snack bar but then retold at snack bar we could not but could purchase ice from them if we wanted too. Would not recommend.

Not only did you guys charge me more than i was shown before check out, you also put me in a different type of room than I booked. Im ready to start looking for a new app. Not being able to get someone on the phone when i have challenges is frustrating too.
