9.4/10 Exceptional! (101 reviews)

The property was very spacious and clean. Our room was great. We had a two bedroom two bath and it was perfect for myself and my daughter. Very nicely decorated and nicely stocked in the room except it could use extra blankets or an extra throw in the living room The staff at the front desk were very friendly. All the common areas were beautiful. We did enjoy the pool, except there was no umbrellas to escape from the very hot sun and immense heat last week when we were there. I found that to be a problem since it’s pretty common to have shaded areas around a pool. We tried to rent the bicycles, but we were told that three out of the four bicycles that the hotel had were broken. So that was a little bit of a disappointment but other than that, we really did have a wonderful day.
