We got off to a rough start when we thought our room key didn't work. We went back to the front desk and negotiated for a better room, that was not on the ground floor and that wasn't looking directly at the pool. It's a good thing this happened since we saw someone else already in our room through the open balcony door, as we walked back to our car. Our new room was still facing the pool but at least not directly looking at it and we were on the second floor. We had to wait for the new room to be ready so we drove in to town and grabbed a bite to eat. When we returned to get our new room, I tried to tell the lady at the front desk about the error (room already occupied) however she didn't understand and I didn't feel like bothering to explain.
That said, the room was good sized and more like a 1 bedroom apartment minus a full kitchen. The bed was huge and comfortable and the bedroom and living room were both roomy. Plus they each had a big flat screen TV in each one! The balcony is huge even if the outside furniture is on the small side. There were lots of birds in the trees around the hotel. The kitchen area was adequate but lacked any silverware or even paper towels. The cabinets and drawers are all empty. Luckily we brought the few silverware items we needed with us.
I agree with previous reviews about the annoyance of the lights being on timers. You can turn them off with a button, but there is no way to keep them on if you are laying in bed reading without looking like you are doing very slow exercises. Also it's not very helpful when you plug in your ipod to charge, not realizing the outlet is on the timer as well. Also the wifi is so slow that streaming any video is out of the question unless you like to watch your movies 30 seconds at a time with about a 30 second break in between plays.
We purchased a package that included a boxed lunch for each of us and I was pleasantly surprised at the food in my lunch. My wife got a veggie meal and she said the sandwich could have been better. It did include a decent amount of food, including a bag of chips (Frito's, Doritos), an orange, cookies and a bottle of water. So the other stuff probably made up for it.
Mostly a quiet hotel except for the Senior's water arobics class in the morning, which consisted of 18 or so elderly ladies and one enterprising elderly man.
Generally a good experience and I would stay there again.
