"We have been here many times and love it, sadly it is really starting to show its age and need a complete makeover. Possible some areas are newer than others so when we return we will be a little more selective in choosing a room. The staff were very friendly and helpful the other amenities as stated are showing their age however it has it all, the pool are amazing. Great locations for family's with kids, it would be great if they could however identify adult couples staying and place them away from family's."
