Property was outdated, extremely noisey at all hours of the day and night. Geared towards a younger crowd looking to party. Not suitable for families or anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Overall a great stay. The Approach room didn't have a fridge which was a little inconvenient but there is a shared ice machine and microwave. The room was clean and quiet with a great view from the balcony. Restaurants were close by with excellent food. Would stay again.

Rooms were way to hot, had no soup to wash you hands after using The facilities, Asked for soap to be delivered to the room, which never came. Room condition looked very beat up, even though it said on the website it had been renovated. Room was never serviced in our stay. Food out of the coffee shop below. It was cold when we ordered hot breakfast sandwiches. Food at the pub/TBar Was not great was not great. Food at the golf course though way better would recommend eating there. Attractions were good suggestion there would be offered two rides on the coaster instead of one. The swimming pool facility was great.

Could hear doors slamming. Not sound proof at all. Didn’t sleep well because of that but also we were excited to have lower level with screen door to easily access the new coaster but upon arrival learned it wasn’t ready (lots of rain caused delays which is understandable just disappointing since we drove 22 hours round trip for that reason) most of the time we had people camped out right out front out door they even set up a table with their food. So when coming and going we had to step through the people sitting right out our door. Seemed to be the rest spot for the mountain bikers. Surprised the restaurant that was close closed its kitchen by 9. No fridge it or microwave in the room. We are a family that stays up late so not having a kitchenette and no access to food or drink after 9 wasn’t ideal for us. The pool was great! Although for a resort it would be nice if they had food/drinks available at or near the pool along with some music.
