9.2/10 Wonderful! (187 reviews)

All interaction with staff was wonderful! From arriving early to check in, purchasing beach passes and getting food recommendations, everyone had smiles on their faces and answered all questions. The room was so clean and much larger than expected. Sat in the outdoor seating area in the evening to decompress from the day and make a phone call and felt relaxed, safe and private. I look forward to bringing my elderly parents for a visit as I know they will be comfortable there. Thank you so much for all the small details. Everything was well thought out and appreciated by this traveler.
