Upon arrival, both front desk staff were on the phone and didn’t even acknowledge us, which was off-putting. Despite confirming my early and late check-out the day before, I was informed there would be an extra charge, something I’ve never encountered before, especially as a frequent VIP traveler. We were given a room upgrade, but the room was dusty, outdated, and in desperate need of renovation. Everything in this hotel is ridiculously old, and the carpet smelled terrible. It was far from the “resort experience” I was expecting. They claimed the pools were open, but they were completely dead, with all the cabanas closed. From our room, it was obvious no one had used the pool area in ages, the sand on the ground made that clear. When I complained, no one did anything about it. The front desk girl simply called to tell me there was no cancellation option and didn’t even offer a room change. Not a single apology. The beds were uncomfortable, and if this was the upgraded room, I can’t imagine how bad our original room must’ve been. I received no apologies or any kind of acknowledgment from the hotel. To make matters worse, I ended up paying for both early and late check-out. This was hands down the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced during my travels. The most frustrating part? Not a single “sorry” for any of it. I regret not checking Yelp before booking this place.

Toilet had some sort of substance dried on the seat when we arrived. Other than that, the room was very nice. Loved the balcony view.

It was nice. We do not gamble, not sure it was the right property for us in the winter time. We would have enjoyed the property more if it would have been with the pools open. The lighting in the rooms were dim, especially the bathroom. Kind of odd. Clean and safe.

I came here for my birthday during Christmas for 5 days. From start to finish I loved everything about this place. The service from everyone was incredible! The hotel is located at the back of the resort away from the buzz of the casino which was nice. I ate at all but 1 of the restaurants and the food and service it was amazing. I only had issue with one of the waitresses who was very dismissive and seemed as if she didn't want to be there but, she didn't ruin my experience. I didn't get to enjoy the pool because of the milder weather but I did enjoy the spa! My massage was AMAZING! The facility was clean and I was able to enjoy the jacuzzi was relaxing. It was located right off the women's locker room and only able to be used by women which was nice. I don't enjoy gambling so I didn't visit the casino. Overall, my stay was incredible you will not be disappointed.

This is your friendly Neighbour- Kathryn, a Canadian ✌ Our travels through the USA were disappointing and shameful. We were offended at the number to service employees arrogant behaviors and comments regarding but not limited to current political conflict USA. We won't be bullied and we won't be traveling to the USA. And NO It's not " funny" that the USA has threatened to use economic and or military force to annex our country.
