Loved the pool and pingpong table also. In prior years, we have been sent the gate pass to get thru gate initially via email - I would recommend doing that if possible. The line to get in on Saturday afternoon was horrible. ##### Jeff V. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie J.
