Staff very helpful, room clean and beds were comfortable. It was great to have access to the heated pool, hot tub and kayak rental. The kitchen we had only had smaller pots which made it difficult to cook for 3 but we managed by using two smaller pots at the same time. Hot water temp and the in room bath was great.
