Most magical stay ever!! The pool and pool staff are something out of a Hallmark movie. My children had a blast and the adults were very relaxed!!

We loved our stay at this property. It is beautiful, has amazing amenities and perks, is in the best location walking distance to town, and the staff is simply the best. The only downside was there were very rowdy kids jumping, splashing, screaming and running all around the pool which didn’t make for the most relaxing afternoon, so I wouldn’t recommend if you are looking for a quiet place to lounge by the pool all day.

It was just ok for what you pay. The rooms were dated. The included breakfast was pitiful. The waters in room were not replaced. We were told we’d get an early checkin and arrived with our infant. We had no place to go. Poor baby! You couldn’t book car or any amenities in advance so it was chaos the day of. The pool was lackluster and you had to walk into town to use it. It reminded us of a community pool. The food there was like a snack bar and blasting music. Not what you’d expect from a 5 star hotel. The food was very good and the rooms were clean.
