Our Average Customer Ratings (based on 62 reviews)


Denise ~ North Huntingdon, PA

Entertainment: Not much night life on resort. Shows started a bit late

Leann ~ Ozark, MO

Food/Drink: drinks were made with lots of syrup, very sweet
Accommodations: rooms don't close and lock automatically as we leave; something I had to constanlty think about; not like that in the states

Keith ~ Kalamazoo, MI

Pool: Our bartender Floyd in the pool was amazing!! He made everyone feel welcome and made sure you were treated like royalty.

Anthony ~ Overland Park, KS

Beach: The beat was full of seaweed and water was not very clear, very brown from the sand. Word going around was that this was very rare for the hotel and those who have been previously said it was unique for the hotel...possibly due to a string of recent storms?

Todd ~ Lakeville, MN

Pool: One large pool. Would have been nice to have a separate pool without all the entertainment/music going on. Chair reservation fiasco in full swing..wish resorts would handle this better.
Beach: Beautiful sandy beach
Food/Drink: Restaurants small so could not get in to all of them and the food was not that great when we did.
Accommodations: No hot water for 3 evenings and staff would lie about it being fixed. Apple Vacations no help with assistance or compensation either.
Service: Would not answer phone at front desk
