My husband and I just returned from a short 3 day stay. We were looking to relax by the pool and have the option to be in the middle of the excitement if we wanted to.
Upon arrival, our check in was very quick and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised at our room. I had requested a pool view, not only did they make sure we had that, it was on the top floor with one of the best views you can get of the resort! Sure, the rooms are dated a little. That didn't matter to us though. The staff at the resort was very nice and we were not approached one time about the timeshare bit. We were kind of on guard about that. One of the resturaunts was closed which also didn't matter much. The Caribe lounge did the trick. Really we just used that for snacks and drinks. We only wish they had a swim up bar, we may not have spent as much time laying in the chairs getting burnt!!!!
So, I only have one complaint about the resort and it's not really something that they can control.... There is a rule about no outside food and drink in the pool area, they were pretty relaxed about that rule as long as you were bringing your drinks in plastic cups. As the day went on, we noticed one VERY LARGE FAMILY that had staked their claim on several tables and brought in all of their own food, drinks and stereo!!!!!!!! The resort has great music playing all the time so I don't know what their deal was. I really wanted to say something to the resort staff because I truely felt that this family was detracting from the wonderful ambiance the pool area had. We were there to relax and have fun though so I decided to order another drink and ignore them!!!!!!! I guess that's what it's all about.
One last thing, other reviewers complained about the long wait for the shuttle to the strip. They had 2 shuttles running the entire time and we never waited more than 5 minutes!!! They really did a great job.
We really did enjoy this resort and will return again.

My wife and I and our 3 children have just returned from a spring break trip here. We stayed in a 2 bedroom 6 person suite. It had a 1 king and one queen and a pull out bed settee. The kitchen was well supplied. No need to bring beach towels as they are provided down by the pool. The resort has 2 pools and a number of hot tubs. There are waterslides. The staff from front desk to house keeping were very helpful. The place was clean and tidy and of a high standard.

I would recommend hiring a car but there is a shuttle bus provided which takes you to the Tropicana Hotel in about 10mins

There is a grocery store across the street as well as a CVS pharmacy.

Your are only 5 minutes from the Las Vegas Outlet Mall and restaurants and 10 minutes from the airport.

Excellent trip would highly recommend

The gym was small for the size of the complex and got a bit crowded and stuffy

The hotel gets a 9 out of 10 from me. About 3 miles south of the major casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, it's a little quieter but convenient. Great price, very clean rooms, superb pool, friendly staff. The only downside was twice being asked about buying a timeshare. I didn't go there to be pitched. I came for vacation and was treated rudely once when turning them down. Kinda put a damper on the place. So, if you can handle being pitched, stay there. It's a very nice place.

We booked a package through Orbitz and deliberately picked this resort because it was off the strip and had a bedroom and a kitchen.
The positives:
We enjoyed having 2 bathrooms, 1 with a full shower and the other with a jetted tub. I took a leisurely bath with plenty of hot water. It was great to have a full kitchen with everything provided for cooking. There is a grocery store and Starbucks across the street so we were set. We also enjoyed having a separate bedroom and liked the living room with the couch and the deck. The pool is really nice with 4 water slides and a fountain. Everything is in Mexican decor, including the pool. Also, we asked for the top floor and a quiet room and received one. It was quiet the entire time we were there even though it was spring break.
The negatives:
The pool wasn't heated and there weren't any adults in it, just kids. We tried to go in but settled for the hot tub instead. Some of the furniture was showing a lot of wear. Way too early of a check out time: 10:00, most places are noon. Beware, it's a time share and they'll tell you they have a free gift for you and some coupons, but it's really an invitation to see their time share presentation and they will give you a gift for your time. We passed on that.
Overall, this is the 4th time I've gone to Vegas and was the most relaxing place to stay. I'd recommend it to others, especially families. Secondly, take in a show, we saw Cirque du Soleil Love with Beatle's music and it was fabulous. Also we ate at the Fashion Show Mall at the Capital Grille and had outstanding food and service - ask for Stephanie, she's awesome!
