This property was in a great location. It was within walking distance to Legoland, and it was very spacious. The beach was a short drive away. The only issue we had was the elevator broke, and I had to make 3 trips to the car with my luggage down the stairs.

Pool was nice, property was quiet, walking distance to Lego land, friendly staffs. Possible rodent in room (food left out on kitchen counter was found bit into when return to room), obvious stains on chairs and sofa (needed to cover with towels before sitting). Water pressure can be a bit stronger (didn’t feel completely clean even after showers). BIGGEST COMPLAINT OF PROPERTY: I FOUND IT VERY RUDE TO RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE AFTER CHECKING OUT TO BE TOLD TO DO THINGS SUCH AS BEGGING TRASH AND OTHER CHORES ON THE NEXT VISIT!! A COMPLETE TURN OFF AND WILL REALLY RECONSIDER STAYING THERE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE 😡😡😡😡

Unfortunately there was not room service, They charged me a resort fee of $38.00 when i checked in. I then asked about a spa or massage area and was informed they dont have one. I asked about the resort fee and the front desk person said" we have heated pools. So staying there was over 300.00 for I night. Not happy..

Mice or Rats inside the unit

We had a really bad experience here, sink toilet blocked, elevator not working that made our checkout really hard carrying everything through the stairs. We saw multiple mice or rats dropping in the kitchen. We reported it, it was cleaned and the next morning we saw even more. Management was really poor dealing with this, it is very frustrating to have to deal with this while traveling with your baby, last night we couldn’t sleep thinking about about and if they were going to enter the room or our beds.
