    Great place to stay and play

    Location of hotel is great, pool area is marvelous! The hotel does a great job with activities scheduled and adhering to guests needs. Service staff was incredible food was delicious. Drinks were also very good. The beds are very firm and “full” is the largest size I noticed available. Their king bed is not actually one large king mattress it’s two full size mattresses pushed together. If you have a room with two beds it’s two full size mattress separated. Staff will add another twin to the living room room area if needed. Overall the size of the room is great. The balcony has a beautiful view but it is small. The hotel is great and I would stay again.
