Not what I expected

This is my third or fourth time staying at this resort my family and I have always significantly enjoyed our stay here. Property is beautiful to say the least. However, on this particular stay, we were on a ground floor level room unfortunately during our stay, we have limited use of our patio due to the fact that every time we were out there, there was cockroaches and spiders one night My Man counted over 15 cockroaches on our patio. I cannot stay on cockroaches, and these things spread like wildfire. Needless to say on the second day of our trip when I went to get in the shower, there was a cockroach in the shower meaning that they are inside when I called the front desk letting them know I requested a new room because I do not want cockroaches coming home in my bags or anything like that. Unfortunately they didn’t have any rooms available because they were at full capacity she offered to send out maintenance to take a look at the infestation. I let her know I’m not comfortable with them spraying while we are on the site. Aside from that no additional help was offered not even a discount off of our stay so I ended up paying over $1400 for three nights to stay in a cockroach infested property.

Great oasis that felt like we were at a private resort by ourselves even though there were others at the resort. The grounds are beautifully kept and the resort had nice walking paths to enjoy. Great views of the ocean in the distance. Great quiet feel.

The rooms are great. What I did not like was the unkept cleanness of the pool area. Additionally the quality of the breakfast food was not good.

Unfortunately the elevators weren’t working to our floor. We were moved to an Ada room on the first floor, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the unit smelled of animal urine in the kitchen.

We were met with a warm welcome from Naz at the Front Desk. We were also able to get an early check-in. Rooms were clean. Our tub got clogged but maintenance was swift and fixed our issue immediately. We went to Lego land which was only 3 mins away. The Karl Strauss Restaurant was within walking distance and food was great. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Quiet, peaceful, and great for kids. Heated pool was a huge plus since the outside temp wasn’t any higher than 75 for our trip.
