9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,025 reviews)
Everything was very nice. There was some cosmetic issues in the bathroom specifically the sink area, chips and etc, also the kitchen area had the same problem. You need to do some fixing on the counter tops. There were no silverware in the kitchen. Only dinnerware. The pool was very nice. The staff was great. Would definitely stay again.
