One of the Host Mario was so wonderful, even it being Thanksgiving any questions he responded right away. The whole place was clean and tidy and offered everything you would want, we had hiccups sure but were able to work around them all and made host aware. It was a nice beautiful stay and we will defiantly be keeping this location as a favorite to come back!!I could not rate the pool as it was November and it was closed. ##### Lauri K.
