Beware of All Hidden Costs
Pros: Close to beach/activities for kids. Cons: Lots of fees with this property. When booking on Hotels.com, when says includes fees & taxes, it was not all fees/taxes. We did a 6 night stay there-there was a $40 per day resort fee, plus $7 in other fees-so approx. an additional $50 pr day. They only offer valet parking, so $50 per night for that. That was an additional $600 for our stay. You receive two additional wrist bands if you would like guests to visit you for the day - we had lots of family in CA, which is why we stayed there. Visitors for the day pay $30 for the day to park. If you have more than 2 visitors spending the day with you on property, it is $130 per person for a day pass. You don't need a wrist band to eat at either the 2 restaurants on property, so if someone is just coming to have a meal with you, they can have their parking validated & it will cost $10 to park. There is a locked entrance to both of the pool areas that are manned who checks the bands to enter. There were many times when they ran out of pool towels & if you wanted to get one for the kids or someone else, that person had to physically be present at the attendant. Many people were saving pool lounges & if it was saved for more than an hour & people just arriving could not find a chair, security would just come & move all your stuff to 1 chair. The deck around pool very slick. 1 child slipped,fell & hit his head & medical staff were called. We are Hilton honors members-would not stay again.
