Stayed at the Mountain View side; the room size was good. However, HSKP needs to be more thorough with the cleaning. The couch had all kinds of stains, etc., which you could tell it hadn't been properly cleaned for a while. The bath towel had black spots as well. Despite paying for the daily resort fee, there were many "add-on" fees in the resort activities. $20 for slime, $5 for ice cream, etc. Those small activities should be included in the "resort fee." Other than that, the front desk staff was friendly.

Beautiful property. Staff was really nice. The market was very over priced for items but you are shopping for convenience. The room we stayed in was okay for what we needed. Four outlets did not work. The shampoo and conditioner was empty in the shower. The couch had big stains on it. The floors were dirty with droppings of something. The dishwasher rack where you put the silverware was broken. Overall it was good. My son loved the pool and the fire pit:)

We paid extra for a Mountain View but got the view of the back of the water slide and gates. Also getting that view means being a FULL MILE from the little “town” on the resort which meant we had to drive everywhere we wanted to go. The jacuzzi tub jets have not been properly cleaned in months so I had to scrub them myself to get the mold out to be able to use the tub. Also, the sales people coming around while trying to relax at the pool is ridiculous. I will say having laundry in unit, full apartment, access to extra items if you call room service, and having multiple pools and activities on site is great (if you get a good room down by them). The gym was very very nice. Pack groceries because there is no food besides on site for at least 20 minutes and most things close at 9:00.
