9.2/10 Wonderful! (282 reviews)
"The resort property was amazing. The “Nature Drive” winding road to the registration office was a bit much. So thankful one of the shuttle drivers told us about an easier way in and out of the resort."

"The amenities are great to have on site. The decor of the room was still original from the 90's but clean. There was a leak in the kitchen at some point because the floor was damaged. We would stay there again."
