Community Insight:
We love this game! That is why Ive been holding on WAITING patiently for the NEW LEVELS! For two years now and nothing! Whats going on.
Its been over a year now that the game says new levels are coming. Any update on that or is it going to be an unfinished game.
Thanks for your game, we love your game , we had a great day and best time with playing your game , please update your game.
Fun game just when we think Im done for we try it again and win.
When will the game be updated? It seems to be at a end.
When will the updates happen because Ive finished all the quests and we cant play until the updates happen.
If you dont have money you must have patience to progress.
We love this game in fact Ive finished all the storylines that Im just play through the levels and was wondering if youll be adding new storylines anytime soon?? The only problem we have with the game is that we can never get the T.V. Marathon to work and we dont know why it shows us how many hours left until the next one but it never works for us.!!!! Please fix this so we can participate and those events as well thank you.
This is a great game. We love playing itwhen theres quests. Ive been waiting months for new quests. Theres a whole island Im waiting to become open!! Hurry up please.
Hi please add more tasks to the game.
We love this game but Ive been waiting over a year for new quests to appear! Im at the point where we guess we should delete it.
Unable to play for a long time. Deleting.
This game used to be so much fun to play. What happened to the entire game? Did the developers just give up and trash it. It had gotten worse with each update. The levels used to be so enjoyable to pass and to decorate the resort and beach. Then, the storyline became worse and worse. The main characters looks were changed to horrific. Now, it hasnt been updated in 2years which is why nothing is being fixed and Im sure the reviews are just our waste of time. Give a heads up to your loyal players if you dont intend to follow through with the game any further. Geeezzzzz.
Ive been playing this game off and on for a few years and am at level 587. We havent been able to bypass this level for MONTHS because the app wants us to spend money on in apps to finish it. We say this because the level is simply not possible to beat without special add ons and the game doesnt offer enough free courtesy add ons to complete this level. Also, The storyline where the characters have to go on dates using the currency youre supposed to be building with is unnecessary. We dont need a romance novel in our puzzle building game. The character interactions are pretty boring and we usually just skip right on through just to build anyway. Really addicting but am now just over it because its now either buy in apps or be stuck in a level. No thanks.
We believe its about time we get an update with some new levels.
This game hasnt had an update in 6 months. Cannot continue with the story mode, can use the new map of the island anymore. If there is no update soon we will delete this game sadly.
For long long months awaiting for new quests, just playing and playing and not going any further!!! Getting tired.
Too many game crashes! We cant even play this game anymore because it always crashes.
There has been no updates for this app. Its been 2 years and still no update. July 2023 now 3 years later still no new missions. Just same pointless challenges. 2nd island is still locked.
We liked this game up till about 2 months ago. Got to level 627 and Im convinced it cant be beat, ourselves and others have tried and its impossible. For those who have beaten it congratulations you deserve an award. We have been stuck on it for about 2 months now Im DONE !! Deleting it. Tried to contact support thru app wont connect. Just waisted a year of play time.
Stopped giving rewards for completing the laps.
After we maxed out on levels we havent been able to play the game or even just see our toe and do stuff. The game needs to be updated.
This used to be a decent game. Now it seems like the game toys with you. A lot of the times youll be stuck on a level for days. And youll be one move away from winning and run out of lives. They literally toy with your head to get you to spend money on their game. Notice that the moment you spend money youll start winning level after level after level. We just spent an hour with unlimited lives and we could not even pass one level. Then theres times when you swipe a block one way and it will go the complete opposite direction that doesnt even make sense. Do better, guys. Makes us not want to play this game at all.
The game is freezing on us when we try to build something in resort hotel.
We really enjoy the game but we are super pleased with the support! We were having a problem and support was super fast and walked us right through it.
We have been playing this game for quite a while now. Its a great time killer and Ive reached level 769. The levels can be easy or challenging. But recently the levels have been nearly impossible to complete without using the dynamite or rainbow thing, and even sometimes those dont even help. Also, you used to be able to watch an ad for three extra moves when you run out of moves at the end of the level. This was extremely helpful and unfortunately now its no longer an option. To get more moves you have to pay 320 coins. Not to mention, you only get like maybe 20 coins as a reward for completing a level. Theyre making it extremely difficult to even move forward with the game. Also, they used to have a really cool feature that Ive never seen in other games. They would send you a we missed you reward if you didnt play for a few days. Among these rewards would be, 15 minutes of free lives, 15 minutes of dynamite, or even sometimes some coins. This no longer happens either. We used to tell people this game was rewarding for the player and it was superior to others in the same category, but we no longer feel this way. Im probably going to delete soon as the level Im stuck on is almost impossible to complete with the number of moves they allow. Not to mention the stupid pink tiles that keep building on top of each other if you dont break them all in time. We also think the developers spent way too much time on these characters and the story line. Its not like the character is customizable, so her story is totally irrelevant to us as the player. You cant skip past their conversations, which tend to be either hostile or just pointless/having nothing to do with the renovation. Thats another thing, you have to spend a key to send this girl on a date and other pointless things that have nothing to do with renovating a hotel. (Honestly, Im not too sure what were even renovating anymore.) we cant tell if they just stopped doing these things for everyone, or just once you get past a certain point in the game. Either way, this game just isnt fun anymore.
Please hurry up with the new renovation love this game but we have nothing to renovate.
We had enjoyed this game for quite a while, then we ran out of tasks to do. It said more tasks coming soon but its now been a few months and we just went back to see if any more tasks have been added and there have not been. Without the tasks its just any old match 3 game.
We used to love this game, but for the past few months we havent played because there were no new tasks to do, now they claim that they are out of levels and more are coming soon, when we have seen other players at higher levels than Im at. How can there be no new levels for us but others are able to get to higher levels. Also if you have any questions, comments, or complaints about the game dont bother writing them because they dont respond. Obviously, the creators or who ever is in charge doesnt care.
We love this game but Ive reached level 1420 and counting but we have no more quests to do so we can keep playing levels but use the keys for nothing. Just adding them up we guess until we can do more quests.
Resort Hotel is the answer to a long hard day.
Good for when you have to wait at an appointment these days.
Ive been on level 1511 for over 2 months stating that Ive complete all quest and to stay tune for more levels of some sort. When will you update.
Theres no point in playing it no more , all our quests are gone and it keeps saying youve finished all the quests- but dont worry quests are coming soon this has been going on many levels ago and im on level 1477, Ive spent money on this game. Sad that there is no more quests. But they come out with a new game but cant add more quests? Hm makes us want to stop playing it.
This is our favorite game ive ever played im actually obsessed with it. We are on level 1,449 right now and obviously put a lot of time into this game. With that being said, we love decorating the property but we would rather spend our coins beating the levels. We wish you guys would change it back to where the 3 options of upgrades were all free instead of having to pay for different choices. The point is being able to choose how we want our hotel and property to look and not only choose the free option because we dont want to spend 100 coins on a pink lamp. Please!!!! Change it back. Also when will there be more things to add to the hotel we are out of upgrades, we have 61 keys we cannot use and we like getting free coins or playing time out of using our keys. Anyways, would recommend downloading.
When will we receive no quests currently on level 1326 and continuing and still received no new quests.
We love it, but now when we play and beat levels and update our resort and then get out of the game, it keeps taking us back to where we started earlier. It wont keep our levels we complete or let us keep our resort updates and we have to start over to level 945 every time.
Ive reached the last quest. When will more quests be added. It has been months since Ive received a note that this game would include more quests. There are no new quests, but we are receiving push notifications as if there is something to gain by playing the game.
Normally love this game but now when we try to play, its stuck at99% loading and the game wont start.
All of our apps connect to the internet – except this one. What gives.
We dont like how in order to get the nicer things for the resort you half to have coins to pay for them its not like in other games you get three choices of all decent items and choose from those three for free this game gives you one free choice and the other two you half to pay with coins which you dont earn much of after beating a board . This makes the game not fun to play especially when your only choice is the free item thats not very colorful and pretty as the choices that you need coins to have . You dont earn much coins only option they give is to buy more coins or keep watching videos to receive coins this becomes annoying . If they had more choices that would be free and more coins this game would be one of the best matching games out here disappointed not really sure if we wanna erase the game and find a different one . Other then that the game has beautiful graphics and colorful items.
Dont get us wrong, we love this game, but ever since the last update it has been stealing our money! Whenever we buy some thing with actual money through iTunes or whatever, the game resets and when it does it does not credit us what we bought!!! Serious problem here! We have receipts.
We cant connect our game with Facebook help please.
This is our favorite game of its type that Ive come across yet! Unlike other similar games this game doesnt make challenges impossible and way too expensive to keep up with! The only thing Id like to see more in this game is to be able to choose remodeling options more often.
Wanna start by saying we absolutely love this game! We use to play it everyday before bed. But these last few days to a week we havent be able to play the game. We tried redownloading but still get the same results. We go to start the game and it exits out and goes straight back to our home screen. We miss playing! Will give 5 stars when we can play again.
Update….we got it to work!! Thanks!!!! Since the last update, the app wont stay open.
We love this game but since yesterday it wont open and if it does it crashes please fix it Im on level 500 and we dont wanna uninstall at this point. Thanks in advance.
This game shuts down just after the opening screen. Please fix it.
Our fave game . Please fix this.
Really good game better than some of the other match 3 fixer-upper games but when you finish the level you dont get all the coins you really deserve. We have had several match 3s fall into place and even had a match 6 and the game just ends it doesnt break those matches to give you coins for them. Thats a little disappointing. But over all a fun game.
