"This place was nasty dirty, we wouldn’t even sit on the couch or chair in the living room they were so gross. There were cobwebs on ceiling fans the tile floor was sticky, and the carpets were so dirty. We called the office who sent maintenance who pretended to write things down and shrugged their shoulders like everything was fine. The shower in the small bathroom filled with water when it was showered in. Very nasty place will not return."

"The staff were all very kind and helpful, the room was clean, grounds were clean and well maintained, amenities were in abundance. We ate dinner at the Italian restaurant and it was delicious but took a long time, start to finish, it took 2.5 hours for us to finish a meal. We ate breakfast at the Atlantic Grill and that was good, but not special. We also ordered pizza from the Pizza parlor and that was very good. I'm also Celiac, and all the gluten free options across these places were great...."
