This was a disappointment. Check in was good and went good. Our room was nice and ready to go. But the issue was they are short staffed. We stayed for two days and pool and water park area was never open. Part of paying for the room was two passes for the pool area and we never even got to use them. We also ate the restaurant and the food was not great either. Some of the food was burnt. Not sure I would stay again here. We did feel bad for the staff. They were nice as you can expect with shortage of people.
