I couldn’t have been happier! This world is so crazy right now and this vacation is just what we needed. We stayed at the marriot desert villas and quickly changed over to Embarc. Marriot closed most pools pushing tons of people to the only two open and limiting us to 2 hours a day!!!! When you get your 2 hours there were at least 15 employees walking around in what looked like long sleeve scrubs and face masks. It made me feel on edge and not relaxed one bit. We left and went to Embarc. They aloud us to be responsible adults and socially distance ourselves when needed. But honestly they kept all pools open so for the majority of our stay we would have an entire pool to ourselves. I think the max we ever saw were 3 other families and everyone kept their distance. There wasn’t an employee in sight nor did we need one. The resort provides you with everything you need in your room. Pool towels are in your room, you have a kitchen for food and drinks. The staff was incredible and the property was spotless. If i had one complaint it would be the bed was super cheap and uncomfortable and the sheets were very rough but the next time i stay I’m just going to bring my own sheets....problem solved! We found our new Annual family vacation spot ! And our adults only place when we want to travel kid free!

What an incredible place! Peaceful and low key. Plenty of things for the kids to do. We absolutely loved the movie theater! What a great break from the heat! With covid they did an incredible job. The pools were nearly empty and when there were other families everyone managed their distances without the need of staff or crazy rules. I appreciate that this company aloud us the basic right to self regulate without tons of crazy rules and notices listed everywhere. For a solid week I felt safe and wasn’t constantly reminded of the sad world we live in. Thank you for this much needed family vacation, I’m forever grateful. I couldn’t recommend a property more!
