Our stay at the resort was truly enjoyable with clean, well-maintained accommodations and cozy, cottage-style living arrangements that made us feel at home. We loved the variety of pools suitable for all ages, especially for our kids. The convenience of on-site recreational activities added a fun twist to our family vacation. However, we did encounter a few hiccups, mainly the additional fee for our pet that we weren't informed about initially, which put a slight damper on our arrival. Overall, it was a good experience with some room for improvement.
