Denise, May 2025
The hotel was clean and well maintained. Staff were very helpful, kind, courteous and respectful. The hotel does have a party vibe, but we found that you could either be a part of it or not. Lots of good entertainment for kids and adults. The villa hallways are very echoey and could get loud but with a good pair of earplugs I had no problems sleeping through noises.
