"This was our first time at the resort and it was fabulous - we spent 5 nights. Our room was very clean and spacious. The private balcony was a nice bonus! Full kitchen and living room areas were definitely welcome. The king sized bed was very comfy. Pools on site were great especially during the week when they were less busy. It was a great location too, as it was an easy an easy 15-20 min drive to Escondido for groceries, restaurants, etc. We would definitely recommend this resort to our friends!"

Had to check out the next day so went straight home after and honestly felt exhausted once getting home.
