This property met all of our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the pool with our kids, looking out at the lake, listening to live music, and ordering drinks and food from the outdoor staff of the Calypso. We loved walking to all of the restaurants and shops nearby. The room was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.
