Frommer's Review
It's an instant replay of the other All-Star resorts, including the tight quarters (if you aren't a team player, the togetherness may cause frayed tempers after a while). The difference here is the theme, with buildings designed around football, baseball, basketball, tennis, and surfing themes. The turquoise surf buildings have huge waves along the roofs with colorful surfboards mounted on exterior walls and pink fish swimming along balcony railings. Again, if your threshold for visual overload is low, you may want to choose a different resort. As mentioned above, the rates and themes draw mostly families with little kids, and the noise level can get quite high; so if you're looking for a quiet vacation or romantic getaway, these resorts are out of bounds.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
