I really enjoyed my stay. I went for a little birthday vacation, being from out of town I had a few ideas of what I could do but the front desk check in staff was super helpful as well and gave me a lot of ideas for fun things I could do! To me, this resort was the ideal place to stay if you want to get away and relax and take in the beautiful views!!!
