We were told to park in the back of the property near where the closest entrance would be for our room. Both parking lot lights were out, so we parked further away to feel our car would be safe. Also, no elevators to be found which was an inconvenience.

The rooms were very dirty. Our air conditioning did not work. The toilet did not flush. The lazy river was full of green algae, and it was gross. The freezer in the refrigerator was disgusting.

The property is in poor condition. It smells in the hallways, the lighting is dim and most of the fixtures were loose on the wall. The AC unit in the room ran all night but it did not get cool. Overall it was a very poor evening of sleep.

3 adults....corners dirty in LOTS of places. Toilet paper roll fell off wall twice. Didn't pick up dirty towels from first night and had to call to for clean ones. TV would work for three minutes then three minutes of not working. Overall The halls were toooo dark. The location was good.

First let me share the good. The pool was awesome, the lazy river and activity area are cold but the main pool was warm. The breakfast was also not bad. Now for the bad, I noticed a lot of really gross stuff on our hotel room walls, the walls in the bathroom were peeling, our tv would glitch when we tried to watch anything, the food from La Cantina made us sick and was obviously warmed up in a microwave. We loved our stay 2 years ago but this time was a major disappointment.

Bathtub had rust stains, when turning on the tub faucet the water came out red rust colored. Had to let it run for a few minutes then shut off and rinse the tub before showering. The splash zone area was not staffed with adults, only young kids handing out towels. Area is open to public so i feel an adult should be responsible. The pool was frigid, too cold to enjoy a swim.
