The Golden Retriever Security as well as the all the Staff were exceptional. The hot tub closes at 8pm. Definatly an issue. It is soo dark in many guest areas. Not a fan of that. The resort needs some love in the hallways, stairs, bathrooms, and pool area.

Dirty, smelly and overpriced
The room smelled, it was dirty and the towels had stains. The water was hard and smelled so awful. The beds had stains and were not comfortable. The “breakfast” was a joke. So so disappointed.

There was cracked electrical outlets, burned out light bulbs not replaced and they didn’t give us any extra toilet paper. Basically the room was not properly maintained.
