First time at this property so I expected the same excellent rooms as all the other properties we have stayed at on Moonstone. Our room was not ready so they changed us to room next door. It was not cleaned (floor, sink area) before we arrived. Easy access to rooms but found the jacuzzi is at the back of our parking lot, not near the pool. I will say the bed was comfortable and shower water was hot, which is good!

Property was nice. Staff was nice. Room said balcony yet it was basically a shared walkway. Didn’t care for that. No privacy. Parking was horrendous! Make sure you have a small car.

Excellent prices for off-season. Facilities were fairly decent, although the window cushion was ripped and looked a bit dated. Some scuff marks along the bathroom panelling, and one of the pillowcase looked dirty. Aside from that, it was a pretty nice stay with fairly clean and modern facilities.
