Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was great. Love the property. Lots to do. I wish things stayed open later than 5 in terms of the activities but I can understand it being off season. Only complaint I'd say about the room is the shower head was very low pressure which drives me crazy. Feels like it takes so much longer to rinse. But that's minor in the grand scheme. Will t. otally come back to stay again

Amazing stay. The room was everything and more but would like to point out the light fixture in the living room was broken and needed to request maintenance to repair. Also being charged for the resort fee per night was unnecessary.
