"Overall very clean room and resort. Service overall was good and friendly. Entertainment team members like Kennedy were funny and friendly. Also the bartenders like Ramon in lobby bar were awesome. Definitely would go back! Only opportunities were shower drain had issues and water backed up where we needed facility team to come. Also wifi limited to only 6 devices. Lastly they had a rule where "kids" under 18 could not be in the swim up pool bar area - however - it was random and inconsistently enforced."

"Great location in Simpson Bay. The staff was very attentive and quick to resolve issues (like a broken faucet and broken hairdryer). They are investing in new elevators, which will be great since the current one that works (of two) has no AC and is super slow. I applaud their investment in updating these but wish it was fixed when I was there. The laundromat is reasonable at $2 to wash and $2 to dry - average smaller washer and good dryer. Would come back but maybe not for 10 days like last time."
