This property is well-appointed for a smaller resort. The pools are amazing and the outdoor bar are convenient. The staff is super helpful and friendly, and will go the extra mile if you ask. The rooms were clean and modern, and the beds were comfy. I like the bath products as well. Overall a great property and an even greater value for the money!

Quirky, playful design and experience. Great facilities.

The pools and location were great. We walked everywhere. Spent most of the time at the pool. Rooms recently updated. However, the bed wasn’t that comfortable. I woke up tossing and turning. Also, they have a large AC unit on the wall that lights up, so the room was glowing all night. Would be great if that could be covered. What’s the point of blackout shades when the room is glowing inside. I don’t need to see glowing temperature when it’s also displayed on the control panel.
