The service and rooms were 5 star and we really enjoyed every aspect of our stay. We stayed in their suite with our two adult children and everything was amazing. Bedding was also top notch as my wife is very picky with beddings and she was very happy with the quality of the mattress and beddings. I give this resort a 5 star
