Players Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"It was an awesome place to stay. It did sound like elephants were staying next door and above us. Most likely an older place and could use some sound proving. The unit I stayed in was decorated nicely with all the options. The picture we saw on hotels.com had a spiral staircase but the unit did not. Fitness center was awesome and the overall experience would have me definitely stay again. 5 stars 🌟"
