It was OK, but beware it's a time share
Pros:

What breakfast? One of the questions asked how we liked breakfast. I guess that's only for time share guests.
Concierge was useless. Sent us to a crappy restaurant for my milestone birthday dinner. No map of the area, so couldn't find any restaurants the first night we were there.

Cons:

Too many rules! Garbage had to be taken to certain areas, only one parking pass per unit, but someone parked in front of our unit, but didn't have a parking pass. We have a handicap parking placard, but had to park away from our unit.
We had to be out by 10:00, and with a 10 hour drive ahead of us, later checkout.
They took $150 off my credit card for "incidentals" or if the unit wasn't clean enough. Don't know when/if I'll get that back. There were dusty areas and marks on the furniture both of which I cleaned up. Did they want me to scrub the floors and vacuum, too? The carpets looked like they needed a good shampoo, and the shower needed a good grout cleaning.
It's a time share, which I didn't realize, because it wasn't identified as such on Booking.com. If you can't do their 90 minute "tour" and sales pitch, they don't give a damn about you. No one to help you with anything.

Great place to stay
Pros:

The setup and extras were perfect. The apartment had everything you would need for a family. Great amenities and staff were so friendly.

Cons:

They need new mattresses and carpet. If they did those simple upgrades it would be perfection.

Great spot for families!
Pros:

The condo itself was well proportioned and had great facilities

Cons:

There was no corks grow, though the front desk quickly remedy that. I would’ve appreciated extra pillows and a top sheet for the pullout couch.

Spacious, comfortable and great location!
Pros:

Loved the spacious accommodations and having 2 bathrooms was great. Beds and everything were really comfortable.

Cons:

There could be a few more parking spots at the units, that would be better. Security could be better- we had someone enter our unit, thankfully, why we there. But it was very odd.

Great location, needs updating.
Pros:

Good location, liked the indoor pool

Cons:

Beds are not comfortable, room outdated and not clean, doors took effort to close and when neighbors were coming and going you can hear every door open and close and would cause your door to rattle
