The hotel

This plush hotel has a wide variety of facilities and activities including the R Aqua Zone, an interactive waterpark with two waterslides as well as two splash and play areas. Golfers can enjoy a round or two on the 18-hole Championship golf course nearby, while those interested in relaxing can lounge by the huge outdoor pool or take a dip in the fizzing Jacuzzi to wind down. There is an incredible choice of restaurants on site — ranging from fresh seafood to great steaks. Kids will love the play area, while adults can have fun in the Boardwalk Sports Bar.

Stayed for 2 nights in june 2025 while visiting Sea World (day 2). The hotel is perfectly located about 5 minute walk over the parking lot to Sea World. With the hotel you get some benefit card to Sea World offering some % rebate for souvernirs and lunch. Also 2 welcome drinks free of choice. Hotel entrance gives a nice impression, huge inside central area. Pool is very nice, large, and there is also a kid area with some easy slides for kids 10 years old and younger. We had a family balcony towards the park which is highly recommended - you can watch the park drone show/fireworks every night at 9 from your room / balcony. Nice food and OK prices although on the high end. Smooth parking - self or valet parking located just a few steps from the hotel. Read less

Its a corporate venue with terrible customer service. We had a suite but the bathroom ceiling was hanging down with water coming through. I told them there was a problem and they said they may be able to get someone to look at the 'next week'. The bathroom was tired and grubby and the room had a horrible smell. I had to repeatedly ask for… Read more
Its a corporate venue with terrible customer service. We had a suite but the bathroom ceiling was hanging down with water coming through. I told them there was a problem and they said they may be able to get someone to look at the 'next week'. The bathroom was tired and grubby and the room had a horrible smell. I had to repeatedly ask for towels as there was only 2 - in the end we gave up. Breakfast was included but terrible quality and limited. There was only 2 serving staff so if you got a coffee you thought yourselves lucky. Overall, I don't have anything nice to say. Read less

Marriott Lifetime Member - I've stayed at this location several times over my near 30 years of traveling and being a loyal Marriott member. But this property has some considerable issues. First and foremost, the air conditioning must be programmed so that the hotel can trim cost at the comfort expense of their guests. I had a tech up to my room twice and I changed rooms. But still, the same outcome. No matter how low I set the room temperature, it never registered below 71 degrees F. For the above average nightly rate, I should be able to set the AC at whatever level I choose. Aside from that, this hotel and most Marriott's nowadays, since COVID, don't have the quality of loyal customer care that kept me coming back year after year. Member profiles and requests mean very little and are most times overlooked. Customer loyalty means very little now. Read less

I stayed here for a conference in March 2025. This is a great hotel to host a large conference because of its abundance of restaurants and bars on-site, pool and gym on premises, and ample parking. The rooms were spacious, with comfortable beds and pillows. If your room faces the interior, it can be a bit loud and be prepared that without the curtains closed, there is the potential that everyone can see in. The conference rooms are spacious and the hotel staff kept them immaculately clean. I got drinks at Mist Wine Bar, which was a fun atmosphere, where they have large TVs and tables. Overall I thought it was a great location to hold a large scale conference and it’s a hotel I would definitely consider staying at again for my own personal travels. Read less

Wife and I had a night booked for a family reunion. My wife took ill and we couldn't make it. I cancelled the hotel over 48 hours before the check in date. Their policy is 5 days. I called and explained our situation, that you have 12 of my family members currently at your resort spending their money on your resort and that could you please out of the kindness of your heart refund us the $151. I was told a ticket case would be opened and someone would get back to me. A week later I was emailed that the "Controller" denied the request. I find this to be unacceptable. While I understand the policy, life is not black and white. Situations dictate decisions and the "Controller" most likely did not take any of my information into consideration. $151 is a lot of money especially when you had half my family at your hotel eating and paying for your rooms. It's extremely unfair and short sighted. I for one will never stay at your hotel and my entire family will not either now. So you are losing future business over $151. Thankfully, I am able to share my experience with others so they may know what to expect. Read less
