1 and Done, Won't Come Back
JeremyHayz (Los Angeles, California) on May 05, 2025
The resort is located in a picturesque setting, surrounded by lush palm trees and boasting impressive pools. However, it is evident that the resort is in need of updates as it appears outdated. Furthermore..., the dining experience at Cava Restaurant was disappointing, with bland food that seemed to be air-fried. Although the servers provided exceptional service, the overall experience was marred by an unpleasant encounter at the kids' arcade room, Glo Entertainment. One of the workers displayed unacceptable behavior, being rude and making guests feel uncomfortable. This was exemplified when I inquired about the Escape Room and was met with a hostile response, leaving me feeling confused and disrespected. During my stay over the 4th of July weekend, I experienced a particularly unpleasant incident with a staff member at the Escape Room. The individual was unprofessional and aggressive, which was concerning and unacceptable. Additionally, this staff member exhibited inappropriate behavior towards children in the mini bowling area, which was completely unwarranted. I addressed this behavior as an upset father, informing him that I would not tolerate mistreatment of my 4-year-old son or any other child in such a manner. Based on these experiences, I am unable to recommend this resort to others. It is evident that there are issues that need to be resolved, particularly concerning staff conduct and overall guest satisfaction. I trust that management will take these concerns seriously and implement necessary measures to ensure a more enjoyable experience for future guests. PS: I also noticed discrepancies in my charges, as I was billed for both self-parking and valet parking simultaneously, in addition to pool bar charges that were added to items I had already closed out with my credit card. I urge guests to carefully review their folios and report any discrepancies to Kerstin Castillo, the General Accountant, in hopes of receiving proper credits.
Great hotel for families but trashy pool area
Vacationer462298 (Los Angeles, California) on Apr 16, 2025
Room was great. Clean and spacious. Food was delicious. We tried not room service and the restaurant. Pool beach area is perfect for the kids. Cabanas are definitely worth it especially in the sandy beach ...area. Only reason I don’t give it a 5 star is cause there was a lot of trash around the pool area. It felt like the staff didn’t pick up after people during the day. There were empty plastic cups and food trash everywhere. Hope this changed from the last time I went as I would like to return
