Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The decor was amazing. The pool and hot tub were great. Nice to have a restaurant that stayed open until 9. Beautiful bar and game room. Best free breakfast I have ever had. They served on real plates and silverware not plastic.
Negative: Our room could have been bigger. No coffee maker in the room.
Summary: Fun!
