Food was the same stuff everyday which gets hard after a week. Bartenders were great. They all remembered you/what you liked to drink. Server staff was rough, they left drinks empty took a long time to get drinks to the table and forgot a lot of things. I would go back for the right dollars or to one of their other resorts in the area.

It smelled of mildew ALMOST everywhere except when you were outdoors. Food was not good at all. Seasoning was non-existent and everything was pretty much served buffet style. Staff was nice and swim up bar was decent. I might stay again if someone paid me to do so. Friends and Family made it bearable.

the pools were very warm and the fans everywhere were on so low or not at all, not enough shaded spots, overall too hot and uncomfortable. The shows were not very entertaining, sometimes the wrong signage was up for shows. Not enough bathrooms, or clearly marked bathrooms. Buffet service was slow and lacking compared to other locations. Need more/better options of food at the 24 hour food location and pool bar - several hours of every day where all you can get is burgers, hot dogs, nachos and fries. Wedding backdrop was not thought out and ruined - had it facing massage and vendor tents at the side of the property.
