Great view of the water from our room. Bed was comfortable and linens were good quality. Room amenities were adequate. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Pool liner could use a good scrubbing. Carpet in the room felt damp. Convenient to have on site dining although we were not there long enough to use it.
