The following review shares our experiences at the resort during our one-month stay. The bullet points are presented in random order and are not prioritized. We made a simple room location request multiple times six months in advance, but it was not honored. Reservation issues were never resolved due to circular finger-pointing. The unit required four significant repairs within 18 hours of our arrival. The staff is polite and responsive to minor needs. We requested a couple of extra washcloths and were informed that the charge was a non-refundable $50! The outdoor maintenance staff is extremely noisy due to the constant high-pitched warning beepers on all their vehicles and their relentless use of abrasive gas-powered blowers (which are mostly just "makework"). The intrusiveness seems never-ending! We had to wear earplugs inside and outside the room and on our upper deck. Since our stay last year, the resort has added extra fees to several amenities—only parking and pools remain "free" for now. It feels like they are moving to the airline policy. Things seem stingy rather than generous; for instance, I was the first to win at bingo and received a 1"x1" package of Skittles. The bed had a worn-out, mushy mattress. Furnishings are otherwise quality, comfortable, and in good condition. The campus is nicely landscaped and well laid out. Parking is adequate and convenient. All units have a good-sized screened deck. On-site purchases cost about 300% of street-market value. The units are clean, and the lighting is fairly good. There is an abundance of swimming pools (but most play loud, cheap electronic music). A-B units with a lockout have significant sound bleed-through. Read less

This resort is well maintained (rooms and grounds). There is enough staff on this resort (maintenance, cleaning and security) to respond to guests needs promptly. Multiple large pool areas and multiple gym facilities with new well maintained equipment. I would return to this property in the future.
