8/10 Very good

The staff was great.They were able to accommodate us checking in early due to having small children. The room did accommodate four adults. The shower was ADA functionable. It was just a large shower room with a toilet in a corner, and then the bathroom sink on one end. So after taking a shower, you would have a puddle in the whole room, so no big deal, but just a heads up for someone who gets a room like that. It is a time share resort, but they don't harass you like other places do to join their membership , they just asked you if you want to take a tour of the place. It is secluded if you want peace and quiet.

2/10 Poor

This property was awful . We couldn't check in until 6:30 pm. The shower was broken and nobody ever came to fix it. We asked for extra blankets and they didn't bring them until late in the night. We could not get a hold of anyone to ask to fix the shower for 2 hours. The best thing about this place was the spa treatment and it is not affiliated with the property.

We stayed in one of the mountain villas and the nearby pool was awesome also had a splash pad, and a grill nearby to order food and drinks. The only bummer was there is no in room dining service which is something we like to do while on vacation but it was easy enough to order something from a delivery service. The room was great and very clean we had a great time and would recommend for families for sure!
