"Definitely recommend"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We walked in to find out I was Guest of the Day! We were upgraded to the spacious Room 434 The Blue Heron Suite replete with a Balcony overlooking the lake and pool. Staff very friendly! Didn’t use the gym but there were many machines. It would have been nice if the Calypso Restaurant had been open for breakfast but it wasn’t. I was given two free waters with my guest of the day bag but after that we had to pay for water. But the upgrade was fantastic and it was luxurious! Spa like robes were provided in our room!
