Good location. Service at the pool is the worst. The servers only serve the girls they find hot. They also play super loud music with nasty lyrics and they forget that there’s kids there listening to those songs. Our bathroom was also poorly cleaned and the shower was full of grime.

Firs of all I can say the property is new and super clean. Staff is friendly but. There are two problem that accrued 1) pictures are misleading. There are no bathrobes and extra towels in the room although they are on pictures in description. 2) a gym area is super confined and overlooking a breckfest area. There is not enough space to stretch or do yoga. 3) its very poor sound isolation I can hear neighbors till past afer midnight. All and all I have mixed sensations.
