Checkin line took 45 minutes. Rooms are spacious. There are several pools. Some activities but limited (only one tennis court or two pickle ball courts, great bikes but can only ride around the property, mini golf but we didn’t play m, 1 basketball court). Lots of kids (many unattended). The water park looks great in photo but is small and cost extra - not worth it). Overall the location is close to many attractions and we secured a good deal of hotel and airfare but probably won’t go back.
