Traveled with 2 girlfriends during teacher break. Turns out it was also Canadian spring break, or escape of the Vancouver Olympics... hundreds of late teen, early twenties Canadian college students (I am not much older but would have appreciated the heads up by a travel agent). At first glance our room was small, but freshly cleaned and serviced. After waking... More

If you are looking to have a good time and not spend a ton of money this is the place for you. It's older but very very clean. The food is good. The service is good. Never ever seen any cockroaches or any other kind of bug in my room for that matter. Like people were saying in other reviews.... More

We were very concerned about the resort based on the reviews that we read. We were very surprised how nice it was. We were greeted with a cool drink at the lobby and were shown to our room very quickly. The room was old and dated but was very clean and we had no mildew smell at all. The beds... More
