The resort is not in a very nice part of town. The nearby WalMart and the grocery store were staffed by persons who seemed inattentive and less than enthusiastic. However it was nice to have them close by. I would not feel comfortable in this area alone at night. The security at the resort is a good as can be expected without making you feel like you are in a prison.

I knew from reading other reviews to ask for one of the high-rise tower buildings inside the gated area. Although we were not originally scheduled for one of those units, the front desk moved us without protest. We had a sixth floor unit in the center building; that meant from either side you would get a view of a pool. The unit was beautiful. It was very clean and nicely furnished. The living room was not huge, but there was a large kitchen and eating area in addition. One small patio came off the living room. The master bedroom was very nice sized with a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and a separate large shower. The smaller bedroom was also quite large, with two double beds and room for a chair and lot of floor space. There were three TVs. The resort provided large pool towels and plenty of bath towels.

My main complaint was that there was NO maid service at all for the whole week. If you wanted clean towels, you had to gather your dirty ones, take them to the lobby downstairs and trade them in. This service was only at one specific time during the week. If you missed it, too bad. I complained and did get clean pool towels. On the upside, there was a washer and dryer in the unit and the resort provided laundry soap as well as the soaps needed in the kitchen.

There were activities scheduled every day for children, most for a very nominal charge. Don’t miss the wild animal show, but for heaven’s sake don’t stop by to look at the animals without paying your $5.00; the staff makes you feel like a criminal just because you are curious. But the kids loved the show and it was worth the price for them. The main pool had a slide and floating devices, as well as other water toys to play with. The hot tubs were large and not crowded.

The resort gave out coupons for some restaurants, which we used. We didn't use the spa or the fitness room, but we did schedule use of the clay tennis court. Driving to the tennis club makes you realise just how big the place is – it’s not just timeshares, but condos and houses too.

Pompano Harness Track is right across the road. We didn't go this time, but I have been there on two previous occasions. I enjoy a small flutter and find it very entertaining. Winn-Dixie and Wal-Mart are very close, which is convenient. The beach at Pompano is good with lots of lifeguards. The Pier has a good restaurant and the Holiday Inn has a good one too.

There are two swimming pools with a third being built. They are supposed to be known for the golf and spa at this resort but I have not used either. There is also a workout room and game room.

The only negative I would say is that there were numerous things that other guests did that were I felt unsafe and disruptive. Examples would be the unit down the hall where the children ran all over the resort with no parental supervision and the noise coming out of their unit was ridiculous. The children were running around the four-bedroom model across the hall from us and turning the stereo up in the model full blast. I saw a guy pushing chairs into the pool late at night. You can see a lot from the penthouse balcony. Two other guys were using the entire pool area as their own personal football field during the day and after pool hours. The security could really use to be stepped up at this resort. Everyone has a right to go on vacation but when some people infringe on other people’s vacations with things such as I have mentioned I do not think that is right. I felt the security at this resort was very lax. I have only mentioned a few of the things I witnessed on this trip. I called for security numerous times but they always came too late. Oh, did I mention the morning when we were walking out of our building towards the pool area and there was watermelon, cantaloupe, banana peels, and grapes thrown all over the brick walkway leading to the pool. Someone must have thrown these food items off one of the balconies during the night. I do not understand why some people do not realize that it is up to all of us to take care of the units and amenities at these resorts because bottom line it affects us all with increases in maintenance fees!!!!!!
