Overall very happy with resort. The staff were excellent, very helpful and super friendly! One small piece of feedback, the mattresses were uncomfortable, far too soft, that’s a personal thing as everyone is different but these were on the extreme! Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay, the pools were great!
