First time staying here and although we only stayed for 1 night we enjoyed it very much. The stay included breakfast which was good and had a variety of options. Friendly staff from Oswaldo and Jasmin. They were both very friendly and helpful. My daughter and her dad got in the pool and although it wasn’t a hot day the pool was heated enough where it wasn’t too cold, just right. The room was spacious and clean as well, only complaint was the shower, it didn’t have a sliding door or anything to close, which was weird to us. Overall we felt safe and comfortable and would definitely stay here again.

Overall a pretty good experience but the only thing was out TV did not work at all and would only show one channel. It would not even let me login to Netflix. When speaking to front desk she stated that the TV issue was throughout all the rooms and that they were getting tech support but not until following day. Also we were on second floor and tenants above us were so loud with stomping.
