Overall, the hotel was clean, fun and the location was great.

9.0

I liked the bunk beds and the general layout of the cabins. The room was very clean . There was a lot to do in the resort, and we went kayaking, which was fun. The food truck was delicious.

The shower was a little small.

Guest review

9.0

Great facility in an amazing location. We only stayed one night as a stopover on a long roadtrip but the kids had enough time to enjoy the pool and playground. Our poolside 1 bedroom villa was comfortable for myself and 3 kids (10, 8 &6). Well appointed (although a lamp in the main bedroom would be handy!). We were really happy with our stay!!!

Might be a little claustrophobic if having a longer stay or have bigger kids - I'd consider a larger cabin in that circumstance.
