A bit disappointed. We liked it the first time but this time, it was run down! Resort fee again and for what? They offered absolutely nothing , not even an in house restaurant. Called several times to ask if there was any construction going on and no one said, restaurant is closed and being renovated. Ill pass on this again.

Personal was awesome, the location was great for where I needed to be, the only issue is that the Heater stoped working, the good thing they brought us a portable and worked just fine. The only thing I would recommend them is to get better sound proof windows, that amount of noise from outside is too much, but the rest it was just a great stayed.
