The accommodations were exceptional, and the restaurant provided a diverse and well-received menu. Our only area for improvement is the pool, which, while understandably impacted by high occupancy, could benefit from enhanced maintenance.

Would not ever go back.

Very old me dingy looking. The shower had hair when we got there. The bed was not comfy and overall I would not recommend this place. The room was big but overall did not feel clean. After we had to cancel our reservation after a day there we were told it was not a problem and a refund would be issue. Now that I’m trying to get that refund they are going back on what they said.
