Claudia
We arrived around 10 pm on Friday night. I have never seen so many people checking in to a hotel so late. We were in line for about an hour. We got to our room at 11:45 by the time we parked, unloaded etc. It was crazy. The next night when we came back from our day around 9pm or so, the line was just as long. There should have been more employees if this is a norm. The rooms were okay. Clean. The food was good. It was okay, but not worth the $300 I paid per night. I did use Expedia which I won't ever do again. The lady next to me said she got her room that day and paid $149 for the night. The front desk could not do anything about it.

We stayed here From Jan 31 to Feb 4 with our three children. Clean, modern rooms with comfortable beds and room darkening curtains. Quiet and effective A/C unit. Front desk was very attentive, texting us to see if we needed anything and our housekeeping requests were promptly dealt with. (We requested extra blankets for the beds, since there are no duvets). We HIGHLY recommend this resort and we will be returning again.
