When we checked in the room that we were given based on our reservation through, Expedia wasn’t the room that was pictured in the reservation. After some haggling with the manager, I was upgraded to the correct room at no charge, which was nice. Although there are a few restaurants on the property, I would say the food is average and overpriced. The outside amenities and location are outstanding.

Expedia did not list the $50 resort fees required to stay at this location. The room ended up costing $50 more than listed price per night on Expedia. This is totally unsat! I will never book with Expedia again.

Not worth the money

Ok. But not worth the money. Charge for upgrading anything. Location is in downtown and total tourist trap. The beaches are better on paradise island. Drinks and food outrageously expensive here.
