8/10 Very Good! (986 reviews)
Room was far away from the resort and in very poor condition. I would give the resort 3-4 stars but the room 1-2 stars. All the activities cost extra money. Food was overpriced.

Everything was wonderful. The pool, hot tub, beds were all great. And what makes this property unique is the sweet family that cooks/cleans every day. The meals were delicious and we were able to be on full vacation mode during our stay. We look forward to coming back again!
