Nice staff and view from my room but very run down hotel.
Pros:

Staff was very nice. View from the room was very nice.

Cons:

The place is very run down and needs a makeover. The video on their website does not show this. Food was only available at their restaurant Covewood and was less than mediocre and overpriced. Resort fee of $40 and parking for $47 means adding almost another $100 to your bill.

Great but a bit overpriced
Pros:

The facilities and location

Cons:

The communication. They charged us again for the resort fee and the new parking fee by giving us a message so close to our stay. The new fee went into effect on Jan 5th but they sent us the email after that to let us know the new fee. The resort fee was already paid and included in the price while we booked with booking.com.
I spoke to Isabel, one of the staff, on Jan 9th and she was so accommodatin. We got the resort fees refunded and Isabel also put us to the old parking fee. Thank you for your help, Isabel. We really appreciate that.
Other than that, we like the resort, just the amenities is limited. We had to ask for a kettle and some teas since there was nothing in the room.
We might come back but hope the service and communication will be better. Thank you.

It was for my daughter birthday, and the staff made it special for us. The put milk and cookies balloons and a happy bir
Pros:

There was a lot to do on the property, the had volley ball fire pits and a beautiful tennis court. The show was small but had everything you need! Locker room with a sauna, major plus! The view was great could see the fireworks from seaworld.

Cons:

There were a lot of charges, as in hidden charges for taxes, resort fees states fees etc., $45 for parking and $40 resort fee which is pretty ridiculous considering paying $250 for a room.
