The property is nice but yet also quite outdated. For the price i paid I was hoping for something a little more modern. The pillows were so flat it was difficult to sleep even after requesting extra pillows. The wine and cheese hour was nice. the pool and hot tub were okay, It got quite crowded and I had to cut my swim sessions short because of it. Definitely could’ve been better for the price but ultimately I had a nice time.
