The King room was cozy, and I really loved the outdoor pool and relaxing garden area—it was perfect for unwinding after a long day. It did get a bit noisy at night, but it didn’t ruin my overall experience! I’d definitely recommend bringing your own towels just in case they take a while to be refreshed. 🌴

Families need to pay attention
The pool was a nice haven for the kids after a day of exploring, and they had a blast with the swings and playground. Friendly staff always made sure we had fresh towels when we needed them.
It wasn't inexpensive but still reasonable for what we got.

Perfect for Families!
We had such a nice time! The room was spacious, big enough for our family of four, and the beds were super comfy. I loved the picnic area outside where we could chill and eat. One bummer was that the shower could've used some updates. But overall, a solid spot!
