Pros +
- The king room was beautiful with a large walk-in shower. Bed and pillows were luxurious, providing a terrific night's sleep. The staff went out of their way to provide superior service. We will return.
- The young person bartending had a very good personality and was very accommodating.
- Kids enjoyed the breakfast and the pool
Cons -
- The mini fridge in our room was broken.
- appeared to be a little understaff. No one came to get trash from our room. We were traveling with 2 children ages 6 & 8 .We only had towels for 3 guest in the room. When requested it was provided but did take a little longer to get than expected.
- I cannot think of any improvements.
