Room was clean and reasonably up to date. Staff were courteous. 30 dollars per night parking for guests seems unreasonable.

Great resort with huge amount of pools to choose from . Great buffet breakfast daily , and helpful staff. My only suggestion is they install dryers in all rooms or a self service laundry for guests to wash and dry clothes and swim wear since most rooms have no balcony in order to air any washed items ...
