The room was clean. The welcome could have been a bit warmer (after a 2 hour drive in torrential rain). But for that price, 1 ply toilet tissue? And the coffee pods aren’t great.

Love this place. Cute Christmas event going on. Only disappointment was the Marina Bar wait staff. Never checked in on us while eating and drinking. Quick to look for their 20% tip. The bathrooms were disgusting on all levels. The restaurant is NOT affiliated with the resort, but everyone goes there.

I stayed here spring 2024 and I think I got an old room - smelled musky- but well appointed and clean although there could have been more lighting in the room. Just stayed there again and got newer room I think bc didn’t have the smell. Housekeeping is so so - one day they gave us fresh towels but didn’t make beds; another day made bed but no fresh towels. For the price they are a bit stingy - stayed there 3 nights and was told only complimentary bottled water on arrival. S’mores pack are 1 per room regardless of # of guest or # of nights. I’d stay again but only if $ is right otherwise I don’t feel the hospitality
