Loved the outdoor pool, and the pool hours. Staff was also very friendly. However, our room smelled really musty and our floor in our room was dirty. When we walked around with our socks on the carpet our feet turned brown. The air conditioning also wasn't on when we arrived and it took about the entirety of our stay to air it out and cool the room down. There were also about 100 flies in our room when we arrived.

If you’re coming for a few nights, this is the place to stay because it’s like home away from home with all the extras that are included in the townhome. It was excellent for our three kids us and another couple to stay in a two bedroom. Everything is well kept and up-to-date. All you have to bring is your personal items and any food you want for the week. Perfect family getaway! Highly recommended and well worth the cost!
