Good facilities and marina views. Room was booked to have twin beds but it had a single king. The staff organised for my granddaughter to stay in a separate room for the first night. By the second night the booked room had twin beds. Not enough guest parking spots which necessitated parking in the street one night. One only drawer not enough for unpacking and storing clothes for 3 days. Other than that, I would recommend the resort.

We were disappointed with this place. Beds were uncomfortable. It was way too noisy. The furniture in our unit was very old and rundown and a PowerPoint in the living space was very unsafe. Two of the dining table chairs were practically broken. The blinds need to be block out as the current blinds let way too much light in. We paid $2000 for 6 nights which is totally unreasonable for this place. We would not recommend this place and will not stay again.

Very dated but comfortable enough.

The check in staff member was lovely and the room was comfortable enough but it’s VERY shabby, the fan is from 1960 and is eroded, the bathroom was tiny and ancient.
