Overall nice hotel but noisy!

Overall it was a nice hotel and nice resort. The room was large and very clean. Our only issue was we were on the ground floor even though we were not part of the events. Due to being a popular wedding venue there was a wedding each day. The corridors were loud until 3-4am each day. We struggled to sleep most evenings. We recommend, if you are going to stay request for a room away from wedding guests.
