Overall good experience except for a wall heater that would randomly come on when not needed and couldn’t be turned off without some frustration. Nice and roomy layout. Equipped with most things you’d need for a stay.

It was an amazing experience and a very good price for what I got to experience. Very nice staff. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. They even let us swim an hour after checkout so that we could make it to church and not just stand around

There was no air conditioning anywhere except in the property manager's office. If that is something that you are looking for or require, this is not the place for you.

The amenities were well kept. The room was very clean and that says a lot because I am a professional cleaner and can spot anything missed. The staff were beyond nice. I would like to return and stay a little longer next time.
