"Do not recommend, like ever."

It took over 2 hours to check-in. Our room was not what I booked but the fact that you have to go across the street to access the front desk is not worth it. It took us about 30 minutes to get an elevator to get up to our room. One of the bed frames is broken but otherwise the beds are comfortable. Yesterday, we were out of our room from 9:30am to 8:30pm and our room was never serviced. I saw someone cleaning a room nearby and requested 2 towels from her, she was not happy that I had asked. Everywhere you go it takes an ungodly amount of time to be waited on. To get a drink or food, have your best patience ready to go. It’s a convenient location but otherwise pretty dirty. There is no staff that go around cleaning up areas. The arcade, tables everywhere you go (except the Lego Geko) are dirty with the previous patrons trash. The hot tubs are colder than the pools. Unfortunately, we will never return to this establishment nor would we recommend to anyone. We are making the best of it, but upset to say the least.

One of the best reviews I could give is for Sophia the waitress at the loco gecko. She was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient. She helped us out when some of the registers and billing procedures were down, but she was great. She needs a raise.
