"Duing our 5 night stay, we had one light housekeeping visit, the day before we left. Our reservations were for 3 people, there were only bath linens for 2. We had to request the extra set of towels, and coffee for each morning in the room. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, and very popular. The swimming pool was very bleachy and very busy. We enjoyed our time and would stay again. "
