I liked that the resort is close to shopping and the attractions; the staff were friendly and accommodating. However, the units need some updating.

Pros (+) accommodations very nice, private, very clean, staff very friendly, grandkids loved pool with slide and even liked indoor pool
Cons (-) parking spaces a little too narrow and not enough of them
Pros (+) Rooms were very nice and clean, beds were comfortable. The room was very spacious there were six of us and we fit comfortably and no one was tripping over anyone. Front Desk personnel was very friendly and attentive.
Cons (-) Called housekeeping a few times to get toilet paper and soap as we had run out what we had brought and didn't want to buy another one since we only had two days left and got no response. Other than that everything was good.
