Awesome experience once again. I love the location of the hotel. We rented a golf cart a street over from the hotel and drove all over the villages. If you don't want to rent a golf cart, everything you need or can think of is within walking distance from the hotel. I love staying there when im in the villages.

More than expected

They made me Guest of the Day, upgraded my room and gave me a 20% discount to the hotel’s restaurant. The pool & hot tub was clean & very relaxing. The employees were super friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this hotel.
