I had several issues. The first night, I had no remote for the TV in the bedroom and the doorbell didn’t work. They sent a remote and that’s when I found out the TV actually didn’t work. They sent the electrician, who said it was the TV. I called back to the front desk to see about a new room, I was told no, not now they were going to fix the problem. He came back with a new TV. But before taking it out of the box, he somehow redetermined it was now the outlet and not the TV. He then said he would be right back, leaving the front door wide open. I closed it 20 minutes later and called the front desk to ask what was going on. This is when they finally said they were going to change my room, 2 hours after I had already requested it. I was told they were sending someone with new keys and to help me move to a new room. An hour later in my pajamas I had to drive across the resort and get new room keys because now its 9/10 pm and no one has shown up yet. An hour after getting in the new room, the front desk called and said they were sending someone with a key to help me move. I asked why, when you are calling me in the new room. No need I already drove up there and got the key and changed my own room. She asked again, your in the new room. Yes, I am good night. 45 mins later, someone shows up to the door saying I’m here with your new room keys. I stood there and just looked at him, like the incompetence here. The next day the toilet stopped flushing. The Bed was the best part.

Really the only negative I can say about the resort is not having enough parking spaces which I know is not really in your control because of the high volume of people. Other than that I have an amazing stay like always do.
