It could be terrible or fine

The room we booked and were checked into was terrible. Less than 1 star. I mean it was so gross we were going to leave. The customer service agent at the front desk saw our pictures and moved us to another room which was far better and cleaner. The new room was 3 stars and fit the need. The pool was dirty and missing pieces at the bottom. I don't know how to describe the missing pieces but it's like broken stucco. The breakfast was actually pretty well appointed and the lady that covered everything worked hard and did it by herself. There's numerous restaurants in the area and you're on a major street. You don't have to walk anywhere. You can take a bus to the beach for close to nothing. The busses run every 15 minutes but no one tells you this. They really should! We did walk to our cruise ship and it was about 15 minutes total walking time with 2 11 year old children. The cost to be transported there was quoted as best case $60 and worst case $120 depending if they wanted to charge us for the 2 children. We saved the money and walked. There is free transport to the airport both ways.
