Property is extremely nice. We stayed in the North Village and absolutely loved our villa. Felt safe and was able to relax with the family. Pools are nice but only about 4ft deep and could get crowded at times. So, for the negative side of the property, the timeshare sell throughout our stay was ridiculous. At check-in, you have to go through 3 check points. 1- check-in, 2- Room key assignment, 3- Room key activation. After denying all timeshare talks, I received a call in the morning, and it was another timeshare attempt. The man had the nerve to say what kind of a parent doesn't participate in a timeshare meeting to allow their kids to get a free fun pass. My kids are older and had no interest in what they had to offer for their fun pass. Putting all the Timeshare madness aside, we loved it. Read less

We enjoyed our vist for a week. The check in was quick and pleasant. The room was clean to a standard, but the living room carpet was not, my toddler feet were prove of that. My biggest issue was communication. It doesn't matter at what time or day you call no one will answer the phone (except the sales extension). In the other hand, the common areas, the pools, the arcade, for example, were very clean and fun. The pools water was good and there is space for everyone to enjoy and have fun. :) With that said, I would go back. Those are things that didn't stop us from enjoying the stay. Read less
