Wild Palms, a JdV by Hyatt Hotel

8/10 Good
"All in all our stay was great, however, there was one little problem with the step next to building two. That step is a fall waiting to happen. There should be some railing or a bollard to provide something something for people with balance issues. The decline in front of the step and the decline after the step made it terrifying for me. My husband very likely would have fallen but I was able to drop him off in front of the lobby so he didn’t have to go up that step. Otherwise, our stay was great"
