The stay so far has been great, but we attempted to order in room dining which, according to the menu, is available until 5AM, but were advised by the front desk staff that we would not be able to order food for at least 40 minutes while the kitchen was “cleaned”. No other solutions were provided and we were very disappointed in this interaction.

"The property is older but clean and in good condition. The main building of the resort houses the water park, cafe’, bar and restaurant and the ‘hotel’ style rooms. The room we had was upstairs and over looked what was a volleyball court. This looked like it needed some work or grass laid around ..."
