EXCELLENT stay!

friendly servicecomfortable roomsvaried menushower issue
The service I received was friendly and helpful. The rooms were large and VERY comfortable. I loved the restaurants on the premises. They served delicious food and had a varied menu. The pool area was a highlight with AMAZING views. The location made getting around the area EASY.
The shower did not contain the water, and the whole bathroom floor was totally flooded after. THEY should fix it.
