10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay. Pool was great and they had a few inflatables to float around on. Community areas were spacious. Great breakfast and helpful breakfast staff. My favorite small detail that I loved was the extra detachable shower head. Helped with all the sand after spending a day at the beach. My only complaint would be the fountain fixture in the hot tub. It needs fixed so you don't get sprayed in the face. Will definitely stay here again."
