Overall, my stay was exceptional, and the customer service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always
Pros:

My experience was absolutely awesome and family-friendly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxing family getaway.🫶 My children truly enjoyed our stay at Southern Sun. The environment was comfortable and accommodating, which made it easy for us to create beautiful family memories together. The place is centrally located, right in the middle of everything. It made getting around convenient and added to the overall enjoyment of our stay.

Cons:

There was absolutely nothing I did not like about the property; everything met and even exceeded my expectations.
