Resort Needs an Overhaul
Kathy M on Jan 01, 2026
Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The food was consistently bland and poorly prepared, but the worst moment was when my daughter found a metal brush bristle in her fish, which actually went through her gum. That is a serious safety issue and completely unacceptable. The pool was uncomfortably cold, making it hard to enjoy, and the rooms are very dated—old furnishings, tired décor, and clearly in need of a full update. This is not what we expected from a resort at this price point. Overall, the resort feels worn down and poorly managed, with major issues around food quality and safety. We are extremely unhappy with our stay and cannot wait to leave. I would not recommend this hotel and would strongly caution families in particular.
FANTASTIC. Great Resort and Exceptional Customer Service
MK L (Parrish, Florida) on Jan 01, 2026
Fantastic resort. Extremely clean. Customer service was outstanding. The buffets were good and the food was plentiful. Updated rooms and ammenities.
