We stayed here Sept. 17-24. Overall not bad,
but can't compare to the Marriott resorts
we've stayed at. We had a one BR unit, with
a pool view, in phase I of the complex. The BR
was decent size, but the living area was
significantly smaller than what we are used
to. Bathroom was okay, but there was some
sloppily repaired water damage around the
tub. Tub is a combined shower/two person
whirlpool. Separate tub and shower would be
nicer.
The pool was nice, but kind of small also.
Staff kept it nice and clean, along with the hot
tub. Definite downside in the pool area:
Constant blaring of some local oldies radio
station, playing the same 5 songs from the
50's and 60's over and over. It was really
annoying. The clientele is definitely older
here, we only saw one other couple around
our age (30s) the entire week. Most of the
other folks looked to be retirees (not that
there's anything wrong with that!). The
grounds were reasonably well kept, though
we did see some empty bottles and cans here
and there.
Location: about 2 miles west of the Strip on
Tropicana Avenue. Definitely try to stay in
Phase 1 if you go here. Phase 2 is newer, but
is right on busy Tropicana Avenue, which is
noisy and has lots of traffic. It is directly
across from a trailer park, so not exactly the
nicest views. Phase 1 is on a side street, so it
is much quieter.
Staff was generally very pleasant and
attentive. We did attend a sales presentation
for a new development they are doing, which
will be right on the strip, just south of
Mandalay Bay. Looks like it will be nice, but
the units are vastly overpriced.
We liked Club De Soleil, but I don't think we'd
stay there again.
