Yes, we all have our own opinions for our own reasons, for sure. I had never stayed at CCLP, always stayed at Travellers or Hidden Paradise or somewhere low budget. But last year after being robbed and some other crap happening to me after three months, I decided what the hell and booked my three final nights at CCLP. They had the Coco Mad Sale on, so I booked a standard room. They upgraded me to the Jr. Suite, and I absolutely loved everything about it. Fabulous room, great service, and well-treated happy staff. Never had any issues with getting a chair or towels or anything.
When I got married in Oct., my family paid for 3 nights for us at Sunset at the Palms and another four nights at CCLP. At SSATP, the main restaurant wasn't open; we had to eat buffet every meal. Food was okay, not great. Live music was bad rock. We both liked CCLP much better and were happy to get there for our last four nights. Great location. They had a fun party on Friday night. The owners were there at the time and mingled and danced with the guests and staff alike. I would go back in a heartbeat.
But, like I said, that's just my opinion. Oh, and I love Travellers too, for a budget stay, but I agree it's overpriced for what you get. They need to do some renos on the rooms. But love Winston and his staff and I always feel at home there.
