Excellent location! The resort has everything you need to stay entertained. Our condo was perfect for our visit. Cute, clean and functional. Our hostess was excellent with communication and explaining check in, check out procedures. The lady in the office/gift shop is adorable and very helpful. If you’re looking for a very affordable, clean and convenient place to stay, this is it.
