We liked the place, was very cozy but the other guests were a pain.
Pros:

The king suite was great. We loved that the bedroom was separate from the rest of the room. We loved that it had a full kitchen with all the supplies. It was really convenient. Everything was right there for us. We really enjoyed our stay

Cons:

The other guests on the same level kept leaving the outside door open, propping stuff up so that the door stayed open. We assumed for their children. But then the second set of guests that came were a group of older women who rang the doorbell constantly and also propped open the door. This group was the worst for the noise and the running up and down the stairs. That part really sucked for our last night there.

Great stay
Pros:

The room was great. We loved the spacious area. The location wasn't far from anything we needed. The staff was very kind and helpful when we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Cons:

Only things we did not like were the beds ... BUT it's a preference. We prefer hard beds. Oh! Also, we didnt have scissors which are useful in everyday life lol so we bought some and left them there. Other than that no issues.

Enjoyable.
Pros:

Loved the pool & hot tub. We loved the room as well. Very comfortable and big and had everything we needed. Met our expectations. The area around the resort was also great. Felt secluded and nature like. Definitely would like to come back with our kids in the summer.

Cons:

Some of the facilities looked old and run down. The Tv was placed wierdly in the room so you couldn't fully watch it from the bed or the couch. Wasn't sure how clean the pool & hot tub were including the floors and change room.

Weekend get away
Pros:

Lovely surroundings. Very clean. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

TV is in an odd cupboard, and the doors don't open wide to extend the view of the screen. It is impossible to line the sofa up directly in front of the TV, so not very comfortable. A very odd setup
