Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a friendly welcome and we felt like we truly were valuable guests. The restaurant staff was fabulous and friendly. The food at the restaurant Mr. D's, was quite delicious and the seating area was comfortable. Our table had the kindest and nicest lady taking care of us - I see you!
Negative: The pool.🥶 The water was very cold and the pool itself was small. With only 2 families with children there it was crowded. There is a huge gym taking up unnecessary floor space. An indoor pool is a better draw than a gym full of machines that not very many people use while in vacation. In all my travels I've never seen perhaps more than 2 persons using a gym. And the room needed a microwave and a real coffee maker. I'm not an early riser while in vacation and it's like to have a stronger new than a Keurig or the dining room provides.
