The staff was outstanding. With our 10 grandchildren with us, the staff was patient and very helpful! From the front desk, the pool staff and the cleaning crew, they all slowed down to talk with the kids and made them feel welcome as well.

Room was slightly dirty. Breakfast is very nice. Check-in was frustrating - they make you download the app and create an account for digital check-in to "skip the desk." Did all of that and then they told me I had to check in at the desk, ha.
