We checked in on January 15th 2011 around 4pm, and were met at the desk by the 2 other groups we had booked this place for and they were both really mad at me for booking this "DUMP". Well Party "A" arrived 3 days before us and stayed because they had no other options that were accesible due to no vehicle, Party "B" arrived am of 15th and were just as mad but they both understood that I went by description and photos as well as reviews (these we found out were fictitious reviews by family of owners) So we are given the option to pick our room and this was a sign, we went and looked at our room and I was not happy, I went back and asked about the new building (supposed to be open December 2010) and they said it was not open due to not completed yet "not even close" i asked him why the pictures were completely different from actual rooms and the young man working the desk said "I'm sorry and i get this all the time" I then knew we had been HAD. Well we could not afford any of the hotels accross the road over $250.00 a night plus resort fees and parking cost brought it way over $300 a night so we decided to tough it out for 1 night unlike the rest in our party as we were cruising the next day. The room was clean but that was the only good thing, the fridges they unplug till you check in so good luck keeping things cold as it did not cool down till the next morning at check out, no ice machine, pool was freezing even for us who had traveled up from Stony Plain Alberta Canada not heated like stated in AD. The Bathroom was frightening tiles falling from wall mold in cracks and beds were rock hard so used and abused not fit for prison use. Now yes our rooms were only $79.00 a night + parking + resort fee (What a joke) + taxes and Damage Deposit of $100.00. There are much better places to stay and you can drive to the beach or take a bus surprisingly easy as we did take public transit. I would stay away at all costs. They did send me an email while we were on our cruise to tell us they would reduce it to $55.00 a night and free parking if we kept our reservation for after the cruise, 3 days I don't think so we ended up at the Springhill Suites by Marriott in Fort Lauderdale $99.00 a night and heated pool, free buffet breakfast and no unexpected fees.
