We had a fantastic time at the hotel. The staff was extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Ideal for families with young kids. We were able to organize the tours once we got to the hotel. We are waiting to go back!

The resort is very good with lot of in-house activities and tour desk to organize local attractions. But property has no elevator and AC. Though the outside breeze is good enough but at time it can become very hot during the day. Need atleast a ceiling fan and brighter lights in the room. Room is big with nice canopy view. Restaurant has limited menu choices esp. for vegetarians. Friendly staff and well maintained resort with complimentary breakfast and free parking. Provides free shuttle to go inside the property. Overall good experience except the inconveniences mentioned.

They said we had a $25 resort credit, but we could only use it at the restaurant or bar at the pool. So we used it at the pool, but at checkout, they said we owed $25 because we got drinks during happy hour, so the $25 resort credit did not apply to that. No one told us that and the guy at checkout was totally unapologetic. It's not a big deal, because it was only $25, but the rudeness of the staff and lack of clarity about the report credit policy was not appreciated. If you happen to have a resort credit, probably best not to use it or just assume they will find a way to not apply it.
