Pros:

This was probably top tier in 1985 but it is old and rum down now. The amenities on site are good, but again, old and outdated. The front desk clerk seemed annoyed when we checked in. I would say this is a case of "you get what you pay for". It would have cost much more for a better, newer version of all they had.

Cons:

Very strange floorplan, elevator layout. Old location.

Entire resort needs to be gutted and renovated. Not a nice resort. Will never stay there again. A cleaner and well ma
Pros:

Only the location.

Cons:

Old and outdated. I was first placed in the Villas. The room was dark and had a terrible smell. The oven door had a messy drip stain running down. I was changed to the main building. Not much better. Old and outdated. The TV did not work. The shower tub creaked when you walked on it. The bed blanket was too thin and there were no extra blankets. The ceiling had stains all over it. Cracks in the ceiling in other places. Holes in the walls. Doesn’t look like it was maintained at all. Just an icky room. Plus, the people above me made clicking noises when they walked on the floor. So annoying. How structurally sound is the building.

Very enjoyable, just a few things needed.
Pros:

Nice location. Could walk to everything. Stayed in the villas. Splash park across the court. Short walk to the beach. Ann at reception was great. Good value. Room was clean. Many reviews says it is dated. Our suite was nice.

Cons:

Only one saucepan in the kitchen. Not enough plates. The inside hallway had a bare garden area, that needed some repair. No kitchen utensils like turner. Big spoon for mixing. I purchased a nonstick skillet. Had forks, spoons etc for silverware.

The worst beach experience ever!!!!
Pros:

The location and the amount of room we had

Cons:

The property owner told us we did not need a code to get in the building and we definitely did. Had it not been for another resident, we would have been standing outside late at night because they never answered until the next day the whole place Smelled like a bug spray. I felt like I was living in a bug spray can GROSS !!! We were supposed to be able to use the water park. Go glow golfing and many other amenities that were mentioned we didn't get to do any of it because it rained and they closed everything. So I paid $400 for one night and the only reason I booked it was because of the water park and the globe off. So we would have something for them to do. Worst experience ever after we checked out the owner contacted me the next day saying they hope I would enjoy my stay. Let them know when I was checking in and I was already checked out . WE WILL NEVER EVER STAY HERE AGAIN !!!!

We will never come back there. And give it a F score.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Well the room was nasty and dirty. The beds were small. We were told to bring our towels to desk before they would give us more. And had to take out the garbage. The waterpark was as closed. Which we called to check and be sure it would be open. We were told it would be. If anyone is planning a visit there please seriously reconsider Our grandchildren and us as well were very disappointed.
