10/10 Excellent
"The property is beautiful and there is a lot going on which is fun. The adult pool is great to get away from the noise. Plenty of seating around the pools which is great. Having your own beach chairs and umbrella is also a bonus. But, you have to pay quite a bit to park daily. The amenities fees at the end of your stay are somewhat of a shock, as you are charged for them every single day whether they are used or not. This should really be included in the room price to give a better picture of what you are actually going to spend. Suddenly the deal you thought you got costs two to three hundred more at checkout."
