| - I just left the pool after spending the afternoon and figured I should post a review while the thoughts are still fresh.
After reading other reviews, I arrived at the pool at 9am and secured two chairs. I opted for the quieter pool rather than the "club" vibe at the lazy river and wave pool.
The first 2 hours were great. I got us a few drinks, we hung out in the water but then things started to go south. There was this sulfur odor that several times in the afternoon seemed to take over the smell of suntan lotion and fruity drinks. It was pretty nasty since it smelled like rotten eggs.
When my wife and I wanted to order lunch, there was a complete absence of waitresses. Here's my theory, if you are not in a cabana or a daybed, good luck ordering drinks or food. We asked 4 different people how to order food and they all said, "look for the girls in the red and brown bikinis, they will help". Well, we looked and looked and looked for 45 mins and nada. Actually, we saw them but they avoided our area like we were the source of the sulfuric odor. I felt like a second class citizen. Finally, I saw a waitress near the towel hut and asked her to order my food. It was so simple that I can't believe there isn't a method to order food if you are not a (paying) VIP. I was told by the waitress that she would come back for me to sign the room charge but she never did. They lost out on a tip, a tip that would have certainly reflected this terrible experience.
What I thought was a nice touch was a chef at a BBQ grilling up some hot dogs, corn and chicken. Living in jersey, I love corn, especially grilled, so I jumped on the chance for some fresh grilled corn. $4 dollars later, (yes, 4 dollars for a ear of corn), I was thoroughly disgusted. It was so bad, overlooked beyond being edible. So disappointed.
The rest of afternoon was decent but still, I felt the need to post this review.
Will I come back, nope. Change hotels tomorrow.
