We had a great time and are looking forward to staying again.
Pros:

We liked the size of the rooms and the fridge and freezer was nice and full sized. We liked the 2 bathrooms and the 2 doors. We liked the pool still opening in off season and easy access to the pool. We liked the wristbands as our keys. We liked the Murphy beds because it gave extra space. We really enjoyed the pool table!

Cons:

The pull out sofa was uncomfortable and squeaky. The tv’s screen was small and the cords were messy and the controls were hard to use at first. We wished we could’ve gotten some different sized wristbands as some of us hard larger and smaller wrist. The blind on the door was broken and could not go up or down. The couch in the main room was not comfortable.

Wonderful property and staff. Right across the street from the beach. Multiple pools for all ages. Bed and pillows were sub par. Overall, great! This will be a yearly vacation spot for us.

Cons:

Location. Cleanliness. Friendly and responsive staff. Pool ladies were great.

It was OK. Not as expected, even with 2 king size beds in each room. Beds to hard.
Pros:

Place was decent to stay. EXCEPT the bedding. Each bed was too hard.felt like I was literally sleeping on the floor. Mattresses should be more comfortable. Hallways too small. Could not get through when housekeeping was doing there work. My room was never made up after each night.

Cons:

Everything listed above
