Beautiful grounds. This resort was truly a nice place. The people were so friendly. The food was really good. The resort has 3 hotels, multiple pools, food and drinks all day long. The housekeeping people were wonderful. They cleaned the rooms, hallways, stairs & patios every day. Everyone we encountered was helpful and would do anything we asked. Great time.... More
