8/10 Very good

Good place to relax

At first, the unit they gave me was very unpleasant. I didn't like the view or the location. I wanted to cancel my reservation, but they offered me a better unit and I was satisfied. It's a very nice place to relax with the family.

10/10 Exceptional

Been coming for years love the place! Vacation sales provided top quality customer service as did food and beverage. Pizza hut too! However front desk needs more training as not clear about charges such as resort fee verses incidental vs room deposit. Check out at front desk associate was rude and short with me. Not friendly at all. Probably needs more training or another job.
