Everything in the resort was clean and staff friendly. Amenities good for kids. My only complaint would be parking, having three cars with multiple families being charged 35 per day seems excessive. Use alternative transportation.

Very clean. Pool at villa was nice and water park was fun for all. Comfortable and spacious accommodations. Only minor complaint was maintenance staff came by after our 4pm check in to power wash the villa back deck…should have been done prior to checkin.

The neighborhood style resort was beautiful and welcoming. The staff was so nice and pleasant from the security guards at the entrance booth, to the front desk staff at the welcome center. Also, we had issues with our door lock but the customer service representatives were all very nice, patient and helpful. The rooms were modern, beautifully decorated and spotless. It was so nice to have our own private pool as well. Great and fun stay!!!

New, clean and spacious house. Beds comfortable and friendly service. Kids play-bedroom was a lot of fun, even for my teens.
Areas of improvement: internet was spotty, video games in kids room didn’t work, coffee at the bar was awful and the other caffeine drinks (tea, latte) were not available.
