The way it was secluded from all of the activity that surrounded the property. Gave us the opportunityto be a part of the surroundings and then disconnect when we wanted to chill.

Aditya

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room provided to us had a broken AC/heater unit. Despite notifying the staff about this issue daily, no action was taken. As a result, both my partner and I fell ill. It wasn’t until much later that we were offered a room change, but by then, we had to extend our stay just to recover. To add insult to injury, we were charged half a day’s rate for merely a 2-hour checkout delay. Completely unacceptable!

Staff was friendly and check in went smoothly. Parking was easy. Layout of room was somewhat inconvenient as bed was butted up against the wall. Wall paper was peeling rooms could,use a c good renovation. We were staying in the tower. Ground wet well kept and very tropical. I wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone.

No matter what you pay for the room, expect an extra $100 per day with resort fees/parking, tax. Having said that, I would absolutely stay here again. The staff is very friendly and helpful - which is a sign that they are treated well by management! Which is HUGE in my book. The rooms were fine, the location excellent, the grounds beautiful. I can't wait to go back! Especially to see "Arlow" - the resort cat!!
