Facility is great. Most staff was amazing. Disappointed that we called morning of check in to see if we could check in early. We were assured the rooms would be ready at 1pm for us, so we started our 2 hour drive. Got there and the rooms weren’t done till 3pm. That was disappointing and hard on our 4 year old and 2 year old who were so excited to be there. Also disappointing that not everything in the pool is open on Mondays and Tuesdays. We didn’t realize that. The kids were a little sad on Monday, but got over it quickly. I understand that it’s not busy on those days, so doesn’t make sense to have staff working the pool, but disappointing for children none the less. I would’ve ever book on a Monday or Tuesday again because of this.
