During our stay we never left the grounds other than for walks. Yes the housekeeping staff was loud, but they were very friendly and the room was very clean. Our first 2 nights our ocean view room had a view from a side window so we asked and were given another room with a great ocean view from the bed and a balcony. The pool, beach and lazy river were all great- although the comments about too many kids with too liitle supervision seem well warranted. we would go back there again, no questions!
