Pros:

I loved how clean and comfortable it was. It doesn't feel dirty, they have shampoo conditioner and body wash in the shower. You don't have to worry about packing your own .

Cons:

The pool area is way too slippery. My fiance fell into the hot tub because he slipped right outside of it. Even little kids walking around I was getting scared they were going to slip. They need more of the black non-slip mats laid out if it's going to be that slippery down there. The signs are there to cover themselves legally but for safety they should be figuring out how to make it less slippery. That's literally my only a complaint. This place was amazing otherwise.
