Luciana was the first person we met at the hotel. She was super nice and made us feel like we were home. She gave us all the information we needed about the hotel and checked us in quickly and efficiently. We judge a hotel on that first experience.

Luciana at the front desk was great . She was very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. It's also very close to Universal, about a mile and a half away. I loved how soft the pillows were. We had a great view of the lake from our room.

"Bad"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed November 09, 2024 NEW
Here the smell of marijuana is very strong and many people arrive drugged and bother those of us who are sleeping. The noise between rooms is heard a lot and they don't let you sleep. In my experience you could hear many people having sex and it was very uncomfortable. Also, they don't change the sheets or clean the room. I spent 8 days with dirty and messy sheets. In addition, in our room the refrigerator was short-circuited and generated sparks at night which made us feel very insecure. On the contrary, the buffet is a success since the staff is very friendly and attentive. In addition, the price is affordable and there is enough variety. In general, I can say that the hotel is beautiful but it is very expensive to have so many inconveniences.
