"The staff were amazing, front desk very helpful and available 24 hours a day. The rooms are pretty basic, but have everything you need. One of my bath towels was dirty at arrival but was switched out quickly by the staff. The food buffet is good, lot of variety however the seating in the dining area is partially inside and out. If the weather is poor and outdoor seating isn't open then finding somewhere to sit can be frustrating."

There was a great deal to do within the resort and a lot of dining options to choose from. If I had to choose something that could be improved upon, it would be the food quality in some of the à la carte restaurants, a few things were rather basic and bland but this really didn’t detract from an overall great experience."
