This resort offers a wonderful atmosphere with nicely designed units and great amenities like pools and BBQ areas. While most experiences were fantastic and the staff were generally helpful, one significant issue arose regarding booking accommodations for guests with special needs. Overall, it's an enjoyable place for a family retreat, but communication and management could use some improvement.
