My stay at this resort was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the amenities and activities were plentiful, and the location was excellent for exploring local attractions. However, the room conditions left much to be desired, and service could definitely be improved, especially during check-out. Overall, while there are some appealing aspects, the experience just wasn't up to par in terms of comfort and hospitality.

My stay at the resort was truly disappointing. The amenities promised on the website were nowhere to be found, and it felt like I was misled by the images. While the location was alright, the overall cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired. The rooms were dark and grimy, which was unexpected for the price I paid. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this resort to anyone.

My stay at this resort was extremely frustrating. While the location offered great access to nearby attractions, the service was riddled with issues, particularly around pool access for my kids. The facilities felt outdated and could use some serious renovation. On the plus side, there were plenty of activities to choose from, but overall, it did not live up to the expectations or the price we paid.
