Awesome!

This hotel is just amazing! We had an awesome time there. From the included breakfast to the very well appointed room and everything in between, this was just an incredible way to spend our vacation. I would go here over and over it was so good. Staff was helpful, but not in your face. They have great amenities as well. Highly recommend.

Room service was terrible they never answered the phone I spoke with manager and she didn’t feel sorry about not answering and gave excuses. The pool had limited seating not many umbrellas, was charged more than when I booked the room so idk why that occurred and they didn’t care.

This was one of the worst stays I have ever experienced. First of all, you absolutely need to post on your listings that you cater to the Jewish community! This is a must! Why is this important? Because this hotel has many rules that are Jewish faith focused, for example, elevators do not work during "shabbat" which is Friday- Saturday, designated swimming hours for men and women, and special bathing tools in the bathroom. This was never disclosed. Additionally, my husband and I were trying to console my son around 9:30/10pm and our neighbor hit the wall very loudly multiple times because we were being "loud". We were simply being normal and speaking in a normal tone, but I believe that the strictness of the guest's religion caused this person to act out and then scare my entire family. Here is a list of additional opportunities for this hotel: -No hot water in the shower - Carpet very dirty and stained - Cannot adjust thermostat, was freezing entire stay - In the Expedia listing, it states that the water bottles in the room are part of the resort fees, however when you get there, the bottles state they are $8 additional The only thing that went well was that the staff at the front desk were very nice and helpful.

Check in was great! David was very helpful and let me know of Shabbat weekend ie adjustments around the property for kosher breakfasts and electric items. (I appreciated that because I was traveling with my mother who needed to take meds in the morning with food.) I had a few requests from hotel staff for linens and it was handled quickly. The property was well kept, the rooms are very nicely decorated and spacious (2 queen beds). The valet parking guys were very responsive. Security overnight was onsite and provided the guests walking about with safety. I had no issues on check out. I did not get to use the amenities such as the pool or gym but was made aware of them during check in. I would recommend and return to this hotel.
