Spent 2 nights at the resort for a business meeting in May. I booked a Deluxe room red deal which included a free pass to Sea World and some other parks. The building generally has a somewhat 70ies vibe to it, although there have been a few measures to keep it updated. There are two wings with the doors facing... More

It was a value deal since they offered entry at a lower price to seaworld and another themepark for the days that we stayed. The resort upgraded our room to deluxe but it was not much bigger. The rooms were a little old but it was clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
