Everything was very nice. There was some cosmetic issues in the bathroom specifically the sink area, chips and etc, also the kitchen area had the same problem. You need to do some fixing on the counter tops. There were no silverware in the kitchen. Only dinnerware. The pool was very nice. The staff was great. Would definitely stay again.

The hight of the bed is an absolute no go for me. I will not stay there again as I cannot sit on the edge of the bed due to the hight. I also could not get in or out of the bed without an unstable step stool and I am an adult. There is absolutely no reason for a bed to be that high off the floor.
