Horrible
Cons:

Pool was down. Was lied to about when it would be ready. Air conditioner went out. Had to stay at Banana Peel all day and couldn't leave because I had to be there when maintenance fixed it. Evening time they finally gave me another room. Staff at desk was rude. I left 3 days early because I had enough of that place

Nasty, loud and scary at night.
Pros:

The bed was comfy

Cons:

Bathroom was nasty. The shower had not been cleaned in what looked like months. The floor had a layer of slim on it so you slipped every where you walked. Was right next to the pool and listened to kids play till 3 in the morning. TV didn't work. Hot water took a good 5 mins to get hot.

Not ideal
Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly

Cons:

The room nor the property look like the pictures. My room was not clean, and they only put a sheet on the bed- I had to go ask for a blanket. The guests staying there were also very rowdy and rough.
