Beautiful place!

Everything was great except all the annoying passwords to everything that are not fun when your lugging around a bunch of stuff after a long day at the beach and two kids, however the condo was quiet, well stocked with towels and silverware to cook. The pool was clean and not overly crowded. Overall very happy with our stay!

Hopping hotel vibes. Peopley pool time

Description of where to park to expect to get into the east tower would be helpful. The main entrance looks to be west tower only. Expect to wait for the one elevator and long walks to made back through for car. The parking situation was the only unexpected item. Pool didn't seem to have current flow like lazy river. Just a really nice large pool.

Could be better with better resort management

Master bedroom pillows are flat, and need to replaced. Also there were only 2 useable pillows. More pillows would be nice. WIFI setup is a huge pain. Everyday the system will require you to login again, and it is very error prone and cumbersome. Also speed of the internet was extremely slow! Pool staff did not do a very good job of cleaning the pool. There was constantly debris in the pool. Front desk staff were less than friendly, and never told me that the garage code was changed. Bellhop carts are broken and not readily available. Resort restaurant is expensive and the food is subpar. They are also very slow.

Très bon séjour

Tout était à notre goût sauf le confort des lits et des fauteuils. Le matelas ajouté sur le matelas principal ne restait pas en place. Les fauteuils n'étaient pas confortables.

Nice

It was a great stay, our shower did have a dirty razor and it was hard to find our room at first. It’s like a maze. The pool area was great for our small children.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful time, wonderful place to stay, enjoyed the activities, and how close we were to everything. The only issues were 1. We arrived pretty late about 12:30 AM and we were told to get our information out of the box to the left of the check-in desk. It took us 30 minutes to figure out that there was no box. I had to look for someone that worked there and there weren’t many people. 2. There were 4 Wristbands left for us and there were six guest. 3. We had issues with the living room television and cable and the carpet was or looked dirty, but again this was a great place to stay And I think the few problems that we had Could quickly be corrected.

Positive Experience - Pool Very Nice

Overall positive experience and would stay at this property again. The pool area was very nice. Location was across highway from beach access. One of two elevators in our building was out of service first half of stay which made for longer wait times but nothing excessive in my opinion.

Codes to building and room

One thing that I could see improvement on is having all these different codes. To get in the building with the rooms it was 4650# to get to the pool it was #4650, and then we had the code to the door to the room.
