This resort is wonderful, family oriented and amazing staff from beginning to end. We arrived 4 hours earlier than expected and we were still able to check into our room. The guests are very polite, friendly and nice. Some guests who were leaving passed on their arcade cards and pool floaters. The shake bar, lazy river, pools, fire pits bowling etc were amazing! 💕💕
