This property is very outdated. The wait time at the restaurant is long. My room was uncomfortable — the fridge had multiple dents, the couch was creaky and stiff, the door had a broken lock, and it looked very old. It felt like I was in an old movie. The market had very limited choices and was ridiculously overpriced. No ice was available anywhere. It was terrible. I felt like I was staying in an old apartment complex.

We, unfortunately, had a situation where my wife and I were away for most of the afternoon and evening, and my 3 children (14, 11, 11) were by themselves. Apparently, on Sunday afternoon, new keys to our room were given to another group of people, and that group entered our residence, finding it occupied. This scared our kids pretty bad. The group apologized and left, but they were still pretty shaken (a lesson to use the door latch). That also made our keys to no longer work (our kids let us in when we returned). We didn't make a big deal out of it as we were leaving early the next morning for our flight home. I'm sure it was an honest mistake, just a very unfortunate situation.

The room was fantastic, the pool was very clean and relaxing. One thing to note is that before traveling I called to ask if we could bring in food, she said yes but no glass, so I asked are drinks also allowed and was told yes, so we brought food and drinks and then were told they were not allowed. Yes it was clearly posted on the gate, but they need to make sure the staff at the desk also knows what is allowed and not. Also, the food at the pool and Canyon grill could really use an update. That all said we will definitely come back, totally good value for what we paid.

The whole reason we chose this resort was for the heated pools to 80 degrees as per their advertising and the jetted bathtub. The pool was freezing. Our bathtub was dirty we had to have someone come clean it at 8pm. We spent $112 for dinner. The waitresses were complaining about how many tables they had in front of customers. I would not recommend this resort to anyone on the future. Highly disappointed for paying $500 for 2 nights. I'd rather go somewhere else.

My Grandkids love hotels and resorts. We celebrated our 6 year old Gson’s birthday. They had a grand time. We will be scheduling the soon to be 9 y/o’s bday at your facility. Staff, service and facilities were all good. We will certainly check to make sure construction is over. We want to enjoy all amenities. One thing, we arrived later and ordered food. We ordered several things, one being a “shrimp poboy!” No, nope, no way! $25 went in the trash! We are from New Orleans and what was served and on a BUN, was NOT a po-boy! Po-boys are made on French bread, or French baguette. Still, that will not twart the fact that we will be back and will bring items to make our own po-boys! See ya later and thank you! P.S. The Villas are very spacious!
