Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and spacious. The check in staff was nice, but I felt like another number. They offer so many amenities but some close at 4 or 5 and check in is at 4 so I guess you can only use the free time they give you if you are staying multiple nights? I would bring my family back to spend the day here since some of the activities are open to the public. I think the best way to enjoy this resort is to get a cottage.

Staff was great. Love the property. Lots to do. I wish things stayed open later than 5 in terms of the activities but I can understand it being off season. Only complaint I'd say about the room is the shower head was very low pressure which drives me crazy. Feels like it takes so much longer to rinse. But that's minor in the grand scheme. Will t. otally come back to stay again
