Everything was updated and comfortable - including the beds. Staff was amazing. We had a medical emergency and were in the hospital for two days. Management called to check on us and helped us extend our stay over a busy weekend. Doug Triplett (manager) was especially helpful and understanding. Cannot say enough good things! So thankful for how they took care of us in a crisis.

Friendly staff, and comfortable stay. Menu and restaurants a bit challenging to navigate as they did not align with in room on screen menus offered. Pool was busy and filled with kids so maybe not a good fit if trying to avoid that atmosphere. 15-20% gratuity added to everything and $40/day resort fee which basically covered WiFi and pool towel. Everything else was an additional charge.
