Manjinder

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Stay was terrible. Paid way more than other hotels. When i booked hotel they did not tell me outdoor pool is closed . When i checked in then they handed me paper saying pool is closed for next 4 days. My kids were disappointed. Then 2nd night lights went off they said something happened to electricity. Oh and yes they don't have generators so spent night without ac it was mad hot. So my stay was terrible they did not even offer any compensation or something. Terrible

We were visiting for my son's birthday and we all had a very relaxing and fun stay. Most of the front desk workers were friendly and welcoming and our rooms were spacious and clean. I loved how easy it was to just walk over to the different areas and really enjoyed the playground they had next to Palm Beach. The only thing to note that is out of their control is that the mosquitoes were out and no amount of repellent helped. I'm from Texas so I'm not knocking points off, just thought it could be helpful for out-of-staters to be aware of.

Liked: Amenities
Love ALL of it, the cleanliness (entire hotel including rooms smell great, not like cheap fabuluso), Starbucks in the lobby, options for early check in after 1:00 @ no charge, VERY nice & patient staff, room setup that feels so homey. We come here very VERY often. Out of all our stays over the last 7-8 years I only have ONE complaint and that is the pool being closed during our additional night we added last minute to extend my birthday weekend with no notice pool was closed while registering for the additional night. That would have been nice to know because that IS the MAIN amenity for us. Good news is there was a backup plan palm beach which is a small walk behind the hotel, OR Schlitterbahn which is also a small walk from the front of the hotel. Would be ideal if they offered options & perks for reoccurring customers such as myself and husband. LOVE IT ALL!! Best stay EVER.
