Staff was great. Love the property. Lots to do. I wish things stayed open later than 5 in terms of the activities but I can understand it being off season. Only complaint I'd say about the room is the shower head was very low pressure which drives me crazy. Feels like it takes so much longer to rinse. But that's minor in the grand scheme. Will t. otally come back to stay again

The staff are very nice and welcoming. The room looks clean and the unit we stayed at was a pet friendly. Unfortunately, we found a garment on the corner floor that doubtful if the room was actually thoroughly clean.
