Pros:

This trip to this property was difficult in several ways. Our room was not cleaned consistently and once they switched the towels but didn’t make the beds.
The food was not great and the service was extremely slow for how many people there are working. Wish the food was better but they know they have people over a barrel, there’s nothing else nearby. I don’t mind it costing a lot if it is decent.
My daughter got 2 insanely overcooked burgers. I got a 28 steak with a salad and it was tiny and didnt taste good and was not cooked to my requested temp.
Pools are awesome and that’s our favorite part always.

But the worst part was the hotel allowing the Oaks group to play loud music directly below the room where my 9 year old couldn’t sleep till after 11pm without giving us guests in that wing any heads up that this would be happening.

Every thing was great but the bed.
Pros:

It was exactly as advertised. Plenty of things to do do.

Cons:

The bed was like sleeping on a sheet of plywood with sheets on top.

Murkiest pool
Pros:

We live in FL and traveled 4 hrs to specifically enjoy what looked like an amazing resort style pool for kids. Unfortunately, this was the murkiest hotel pool we've ever seen. I've read the hotel's response to the other mentions. We've been to countless resort pools this summer and they all have been crystal clear despite sunscreen, lotion, rain, crowds, etc. Could not see the bottom of this pool 🤢 On Saturday July 5th, around 9:15 am, a guy was throwing chemicals into the pool while families were already in the pool....
