The only thing I didn't like was the fact that I spent all thst money to stay four nights and I did not get any type of room service, housekeeper never came to change the beds ,take garbage or anything.

Would return to this facility
Cons:

Not your fault out of your control, but the pool usage was great until a family of about 10 people showed up and had no respect for anyone else in the pool actually had a couple that was swimming laps, get up and leave because the kids almost jumped on that while they were swimming very rude and disrespectful towards space coming in between people yelling and screaming
