Our room with the swim out pool was great. Having the option for a low key swim was nice. The smaller pool was great and where we spent most of our time. Able to get chairs with an umbrella everyday. The staff was fabulous especially Angela by the pool. House Keeping kept our room really clean and always stocked with fresh towels and waters.
