“Luxury pricing without the luxury”

I'll start with the positives: the bed was incredibly comfortable, the room was spacious, and the grounds are beautiful. The drive in is lined with trees and horses, and the pool area is visually stunning. The pool bar was another highlight- great drinks, friendly bartenders, and surprisingly good food. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn't match the price point. When we arrived, there was trash, goldfish crackers, and fake press-on nails on the floor that remained there throughout our stay (I didn’t want to say anything just to see how long it would take them to notice, room 1111 by the way, in case you want to send someone in to clean it properly). The room looked nice at first glance, but the shower was worn, the enamel was chipping, and the shower door wouldn't close properly. The air conditioning was another issue. It worked well during the day, but every night we woke up sweating as warm air came through the vents, only cooling down again around 4–5 a.m. The property is currently under construction (May/June 2026), which made getting around inconvenient. Accessing the lobby, restaurant, and gift shop required walking outside and through construction areas. The spa was just completely closed. Be sure to check your bill carefully as well—parking is advertised as $27 per day, but I was initially charged $50 for the first 12 hours. Staff were able to get that refunded however. The beach is pretty but swimming isn't permitted. The pool area looks great on the surface, but maintenance seems lacking. The pool floor is chipped and actually cut my foot, the hot tubs contained noticeable debris, and several advertised amenities weren't functioning properly, including broken QR codes for menus and activities. The waterslide, however, was a lot of fun. The restaurant was decent with good service, food, and drinks, but the atmosphere felt surprisingly plain compared to the rest of the property. Most staff members were friendly and helpful, though check-in was underwhelming and lacked any basic information about the resort (even including how to get to our room through all the construction). It was also difficult to find staff around the pool or grounds, so don't expect anything in the way of poolside service. Overall, this felt like a 2- or 3-star resort charging 5-star prices. The property has a lot of potential and some genuinely great features, but maintenance issues, construction, and inconsistent service made it difficult to justify the cost.
