Elevator was always broken or didn't work properly. Not enough elevators to accommodate all of the guests. Staff won't tell you what specials will be in the buffet restaurant. Italian selections subpar, Italian sauces were horrible. No creamers in bedroom for coffee machine. Staff can't explain the beeper system and reservation system for the specialty restaurants. Alcohol selection was low quality.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property is very outdated and smells terrible. Santana at the front desk is their only saving grace. The food was bland and seemed to be the same food they served at the restaurants and the buffet. There is no designated smoking areas so people were allowed (and were) to smoke anywhere including directly in front of the kids play land. Folks that were visibly intoxicated were not dealt with appropriately and were allowed to continue to be visibly intoxicated even when children were present. The cot that was brought to our room for our daughter looked like it had been there for many many years and was tattered and the mattress was stained. This is our third and final time we will be staying at this property. Very disappointing stay.

This was our fourth visit in four years and plan to come back next year. We have noticed that the quality of the food in the Restuarant's has declined since our first visit. We also had a lot of problems with our room, 816. We had to call maintenance once for a clogged sink and 3-4 times to fix the air conditioning.

The property is spotless, service is magnificent, food is excellent, with lots of choices if you’re using buffet, there’s also choices of restaurants if you prefer with reservations for dinner only. The beach is magnificent, but needs more umbrellas for all the guests, otherwise you need to get up early to get an umbrella .
