Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:

"What an Amazing Trip!"

Overall Score5.0/ 5

This resort was amazing and we are planning on making another trip here next Christmas. I was so happy to be able to let my daughter run the property. I was especially excited that we could visit the two sister resorts. Next time we will! The staff was amazing always knowing our names and making sure we were happy. I could not have asked for more. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable. We will be back!
