  : Geared for fun and relaxation, the resort has parrothead themed decór and music. The pet-friendly policy meant our Pomeranian could hang out with us in the public areas and make friends with children and adults. The restaurant was good, the staff were great, the pool with prowling iguanas was fabulous. Little things like hammocks & cornhole sets reinforced the R&R vibe.The concierge was super helpful getting us set up for activities and recommended restaurants. The downtown shuttle was a great convenience and Luann the driver especially deserved kudos.It was a nice touch having limes, lemons, and oranges in the ice-dispensing area, though the ice was dumped , frozen solid, in bags and had to be smashed up to be usable — see below about maintenance issues, as those employees seemed to have little supervision or structure.
  : The bed and couch surfaces were too hard. A firm mattress is good, but it needs cushioning on top. We both woke up feeling beaten up most mornings of our two-week stay, and the couple of evenings we wanted to relax and watch a movie, the rock-hard, right-angled, armless chaise that substituted for a couch made it less than relaxing.Also, maintenance seems deferred. The shower drain flooded the bathroom; the barn-style bathroom door dropped a heavy piece of hardware which fortunately no one was standing under; the ground-floor elevator entrance had a broken grate covered by a rumpled mat which was a trip hazard—other small things like that.

  : Great location
  : Maintenance contractors were doing loud work in the early morning, felt like we were on a construction site. Couldn’t sleep. Told front desk staff, they said there was nothing they could do.
