The soundproofing between floors was really bad. We heard everything from upstairs.

Great views over the golf course. Sunrise very pretty. Heated swimming pool, spa, & sauna. Pizzas looked good but order before 4pm or not available. Meals from the adjoining resteraunt really good but again best to reserve a table even in the middle of winter. Good place to explore the area.

The resort had lots of activities for our three children to enjoy - especially the pool/spa area. I found the resort very child friendly and the restaurant served great meals.
