Disliked: Amenities
Our experience was not good here. A few negatives but the biggest turn off was that another guest told us not to use the outdoor hot tubs because they were not monitored and people were having sex in them. The source, he said, was a local. Since we booked this VRBO based on hot tubs, there's no reason for us to keep this on our favourites list.

They were welcoming, however in terms of amenities there was no toilet paper when we arrived. Other than that, the place was nice. We enjoyed our time there, the resort is beautiful and great resources, the pool, the sauna, etc.
