Terrific service and property. This is my second visit this year and it was just as good as the first. I've already booked another stay this summer. Very clean, great attention to detail.
the sprawling property, with luxurious and manicured grounds all which provide stunning vista views from any spot on the resort. it possesses the grand entrance, with its many richly decorated patios, club areas and members only areas. the room amenities are lush and luxurious with the newest technologies. The staff were amazing, attentive, helpful, polite, and most accommodating with requests. its is their staff that made my stay lovely and welcoming.
Such a lovely property with an incredibly nice and attentive staff. Can’t wait to come back soon!
