All in all, it was great! We never had to leave the resort, so much to do, to enjoy, and the restaurants were great!! Lighting could be improved and some furniture has wear and tear. A microwave in the room would have been nice. The cleaning staff was very accomodating and quick to serve our needs. The shower in our room was fanastic! I highly reccomend the resort and will stay again.
