I thought I was booking with the hotel directly, but its Expedia. If I had known the Waterfront Hotel was under construction, I would have book other hotel. The hotel was not busy, but they put us on 4th floor in the back side looking down to the parking lot without Waterview, since was a waterfront hotel, I was hoping for water view. No amenity was available, no pool, nothing!, we were disappointed. The room was clean. The elevator was old and dark, slow to respond feel spooky at time. We didn't have contact with any employee after checked in at front desk. I will not recommend this hotel at this time.

Nice place

Beautiful property, great service. Close to the villages and lots of other things. The person in the room next to me left their TV on full blast volume…I couldn’t sleep - it was 3 am and I had an early morning to get to my flight. Hunter tried to wake them by calling, knocking and when no response, gave me a new room so I could get some sleep. Thanks😀. Maybe set up the TVs for a maximum volume that doesn’t wake the dead.

Me and my husband love the resort.It was very peaceful and comfortable and was in a very convenient area in the villages. I'm sure you're wondering why I gave such a little rating if we were extremely happy with the stay.. the issue was the Cleanliness of the hotel room the maid service needs to be more Attentive.. the counter tops in the bath were full of dust and hair the sheets had some black smudge marks on them . The room it self needs a good deep clean. As someone who is a owner operator of a cleaning business This is unacceptable. I know that this issue can be handled in a very respectful manor . Fyi double checking rooms after maid service would really help. No worries im.hopeful this issue will be resolved and we will be back.

I thought this place was nice, the view was lovely. Really appreciated the magnified make up mirror like I have at home. Did not use pool or hot tub. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was large and included a safe. Would be nice if an alternative to plastic bottles was used, considering all the plastic waste.
