2 star hotel with 4 star amenities
It's a 2 star hotel with 4 star amenities. The room was in rough shape with holes in the drapes and no hot water. The place echoes so you can hear everything (thin walls and tile floors) at all hours of the night. The kids bunk beds squeaked and the ladder was not properly bolted to the frame and when a kid was climbing down from the top the ladder would slam into the metal frame. The saving grace of our trip with the delicious food, drinks, and weather. The restaurants we're good, but got crowded as there is only 2 places for lunch, 2 places for dinner (1 fancy dinner that has a dress code) and 1 option for a good breakfast. The kids enjoyed the kids club, which kept them busy all day with time in the pool and other activities. Would I come here again...no, unless it was on the high levels away from the pool and lobby.

Stuck in the 80s
I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Its very dated and needs alot of work. not alot activities unless you went outside of the resort. food selection was the same everyday, drinks werw good. Thank god were not picky, but not a 4 star. Was built in the 80s and still stuck in the 80s. Had a wonderful time and would certainly visit PV again, but not this resort.

Awesome!...if you don't care about quiet bedtime or food choices for picky small children
Absolutely beautiful natural surroundings made up for small resort where the sound of music from (otherwise awesome activities) echoes into rooms where people may be trying to rest/sleep. We were blasted by music (which was, to be fair, really great) until 12 every night. We didn't have children with us but if we did, it would have been a nightmare. Food was 10/10 but almost no predictable food choices for children or people with simpler food requirements who sometimes rely on items such as fries/nuggets/ burgers. (There is a burger bus but its only open for lunch). Staff ALL very friendly and accommodating!
