Relaxing Stay with Beautiful Gardens

fantastic poolsgreat mealhandy airportconvenient taxi
The resort is on the outskirts of the city, perfect for relaxation. The pools were fantastic, and I really enjoyed a great meal, especially the blue swimmer crab spaghetti at Mama Belle's after a full day tour. The location is handy to the airport and for day trips up north. A taxi to the city costs only $21.00 if needed.
The beds were not the most comfortable. I could feel the springs a bit.

Solid Stay with Good Amenities

great poolfriendly stafffair pricecompetent staff
i found the pools were a great addition, especially the movie nights at the main pool. the staff were very friendly and accommodating. the location suited me well, and the price seemed fair. i appreciated the staff storing items i left behind until i could pick them up.
The wi-fi signal was not strong. Getting some work done took much longer than expected.
