Super clean, well appointed. We appreciated the attention to detail and handy little inclusions with the house (cot, highchair, stick vac, cold bag for day trips etc). The kids loved the different pools to swim in, and being able to walk around the resort. Would stay again and recommend. ##### Dashville H.
