Reviewed Sep 7, 2026Location
Under construction. They should have let me know when I booked that there was gonna be all kinds of construction noise all day long so there was no chance on laying down and relaxing during the day. At night, the place filled up with high school kids in the lobby and it was very very loud all the way till 11 PM. The staff seemed like they had no control over what was going on after that. They were all hanging out in the parking lot, making noise very hard to relax.

We vroegen om een rustige kamer omdat ons kindje ziek was. Deze kregen we om wat voor reden dan ook niet. Mevrouw was niet erg vriendelijk tegen ons. Vervolgens hadden we een kamer aan het zwembad waar het heel erg druk was en mensen aan het gillen en feesten waren. Wederom gevraagd om een rustige kamer en toen kregen we een kamer aan de andere kant.

They definitely needed more staff to help with replacing the food and cleaning the tables. both days had huge lines that would go until out of the coffee area and we would be there waiting for them to replace items that were missing. The breakfast was also good but I was expecting more option such as yogurt and fruits.

Las camas tenian mucho ruido,sobre todo yo que viajo con niños pequeños se despertaron varias veces en la noche porque se movían y se asustaban con el ruido de las camas, en otra ocasión que fui no pasó pero en esta si y lo que si debieran controlar es el tema de la piscina y las personas que fuman porque ya no es la primera vez que uno va con los niños y hay una peste a marihuana que es insoportable para todos.
