Room was clean and staff were very friendly. The one negative is that the pool is small and in another building. Also, I wish they had a place to put recyclables. The breakfast was a good price, but it is busy.

So staff was super nice and helpful. Resort fee makes no since as pool closes at 6 and bar closes at 10 not open long enough to enjoy anything that resort fee should cover. Drink vouchers wasted because it closed so early for a vacation spot. Good location and clean rooms but not with extra cost.
