The staff was amazing. They would bring an order to our room. They had a fair selection of snacks and drinks to purchase. One thing I would recommend would be to have cooler to sell ice cream and popsicles. The pool area was delightful with lots of lounge chairs and tables to eat at. I would highly recommend this property.
