"Great resort for a family holiday. My kids loved it and we were happy that they were happy. One tiny thing was that the windows all opened out to the roadways so curtains needed to be drawn for privacy. Would have been nice if they were tinted. But wasn’t a biggie. We would definitely stay again."
