I have a three year old daughter and she had the kiddie pool to herself the whole stay! She did finally learn to swim with her floatation device last night (the last night of our stay). The beds were neat and cleaned, and comfy toppers. It was overall great stay with great weather!

They need to hire waiter staff and experienced cooks for their very inferior restaurant rather than using front desk and grounds to man those positions. Our waiter came to our table 4 times after taking our order and the food was terrible. The hash browns were barely browned and tasted raw. The Omelet I had was devoid of any discernible seasoning. Their restaurant was and is my sole complaint
