Stay here!!! Super clean, safe, affordable, and the staff are excellent! Every morning you see the pools being cleaned, trash being picked up, flowers watered, golf carts being washed, ect. Great place to hang out at the pool, pool w/swim up bar, and hot tub. Dj, games, cabanas, lazy river, complimentary coffee, gift shop. And the tiki bar in the back..Dylan (sp.) the bartender kept us entertained, so much so that he received our yearly award! Andy and Nan, you guys ROCK and we will see you soon!

It lacked a lot in the rooms, our tvs didn’t work, no where to plug up multiple devices, and the refrigerator was barely cold so our drink inside never really got cold.

Excellent pool area. One of the best pools I have been to. The handicapped shower is terrible as water leaks out into the bathroom and floods the room. Used all the towels to soak up the water. No room service. ☹️ Very quiet at night. Front desk very friendly and efficient. Hotel is very close to downtown and restaurants, nice golf carts to use.

Old

To start off we arrived and the paramedics and police department was there assisting an overdose patient near the pool. It doesn't appear that they have been putting any money back into the place. The pool area and other areas are just looking old and worn.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Initially, we encountered a non-working elevator and had to lug our bags to the third floor. But, it was working again when we checked out. Renting a golf cart on site was very convenient but having to turn it in by 9:00 pm was not great, especially on the 4th with fireworks not ending until after 10:00. It was nice to have multiple pools available. Our room was clean and comfortable. Cleaning and general property staff were very friendly and eager to help. We will consider staying again when we are in PIB.
