We had the best time here. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the shows, food, and the amenities. This was such a gorgeous location and I can honestly say we never ran out of things to do. Everyday was so much fun and such a unique experience. Thank you to the fabulous team ...

We never saw the pool, it was an overnight stay with an early departure. The shuttle was good, the restaurant had a nice selection to choose from and the room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint was the invoice wasn't in english. A suggestion also would be to have some grab-and-go food items ...
