Travel tips
Wi‑Fi is tied to the resort fee, and the resort fee also includes a local shuttle—plan to use it for nearby trips and to reduce driving. Because the property is described as sprawling, allow extra time to walk between parking, rooms, and venues on site. If you’re visiting during periods of on-site work, guests report that navigation can be less direct even when noise is minimal.
What guests say
Many guests emphasize strong service and hospitality, highlighting staff helpfulness along with comfortable beds and clean rooms. The resort’s facilities and location are frequently cited as positives, and some guests prefer quieter swim options such as a lap pool. A few reviews point to operational drawbacks, including long walks across the sprawling property and occasional maintenance issues (such as bathrooms not working in a specific area). Negative experiences also mention crowding at the pool, limited poolside lunch options, and one serious safety complaint related to gym equipment and slow response time to assist.
