THEY ARE VERY STRICT ON THIS POLICY THAT WAS ARBITRARILY CREATED. Also, at this time of year, only 25% of the Waterpark and some restaurants are open due to the slower season and number of guests.

Zero entertainment- no shows no live bands except casino. For a family of 4 plan to spend $500-700 a day on just food and 1 activity. Water $10 a bottle- and you have to buy it bc the water tastes like sewage. Beautiful property- will not return due to lack of activities and the crazy price they charge for food and activities. Nothing is included with your stay except the water park. Read less

Amazing experience, the resort, as a whole, was exceptional. The Reef, specifically, was great down to the miniscule detail of the buildings design.
