Enjoyed our stay - didn’t know this resort even existed. Just alongside the old highway so a bit of noise from traffic but nothing outrageous. We just stayed one night so it was hard to really enjoy it although the front seat staff invited us to use the pool the next day after vacating our room for 11 so that was nice.
