5.0/10
Our stay was quite frustrating. We encountered long wait times and poor service from management, leaving us disappointed for what we paid. While the spa and one restaurant had their moments, the overall experience did not live up to expectations. The resort has potential with clean facilities and a somewhat enjoyable casino, but essential services and dining options need serious improvement.
Rooms

Our room was spacious but not fully cleaned, with faulty air conditioning that wasn't addressed even after we reported it.

Dining at the resort was hit or miss; the Iguana was particularly disappointing, while we enjoyed the food at the Bar & Grill, which was the highlight of our meals.

During my stay, I appreciated the great customer service from many staff members, especially at the front desk and breakfast area, which truly enhanced my experience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but my dining experiences at some of the on-site restaurants were mixed; while some meals were enjoyable, others fell short of expectations. The overall environment felt less inviting due to inconsistent staff attitudes. While I had some fun at the casino, the lack of nearby attractions was a downside for my family.

The hotel has a warm southwestern charm and a nice variety of facilities, making it a pleasant stay overall. The rooms are spacious and well-decorated, although some furnishings seem outdated.

Additionally, while the pool and other amenities looked inviting, the dining experience could use a refresh in quality.
