"My stay was very nice and relaxing. The staff were all very friendly. There were nice shows to watch and activities to attend. The pool and spa were wonderful. The room was decent could use some updating. The calking around the bathroom sink was coming off and our room didn’t get fully cleaned if you didn’t put the sign on the door. We ate at a few restaurants which all were good and the buffets gave a good variety. I would definitely return."
