"It was amazing I loved the service and my family had such a comfortable stay we loved the food the drinks everything. The only thing is that they do not have a hot tub. The small pool is just a jetted pool it doesn’t heat up. One of the main reasons I booked it but wasn’t a big deal in the end."

It's long and great for laps ..."
