Everyone was so incredibly nice! The pools was nice and clean. Our room was very spacious and clean. It appeared to have been recently remodeled. Pillows were awful! Even though the advertised a hot tub there wasn’t one. However, the breakfast made up for the hot tub and pillows. Holy Moly! The breakfast was on point! Would 100% recommend.

Staff is always awesome. Floors were filthy in the room. Breakfast options aren't very appealing, such as egg white omelets and the potatoes don't really look cooked.
