The staff was excellent, we had a problem with our room and we were given a upgrade. The food was great and the night shows were fabulous. We loved the pool area and the fire pit and comfortable seating.. Thank you ... we'll definitely come back to stay again soon.

Loved the room. Wasn’t a five star but loved it for my family and in-laws. There was a slight problem with mattress on sofa bed might want to replace them but overall loved it. Breakfast was awesome. Staff was excellent.
