Firstly- be aware this is a time share property and they will do their best to hook you into buying their timeshare. The room was clean and had a beautiful view over a pond and the golf corse. However, we could hear the noise from the freeway when in the room. The property is going through renovations so I think some of their typical amenities are on pause. I really liked the pillows. My husband did not. Great water temp and pressure. The pool but the sales center is the one with the splash pad and water slide. Our son had a blast in there. It was very nice. Did not get to the other pools. Staff was a little hit and miss. Their Starbucks is an automated machine so don't expect more than coffee and creamer.

The fridge kept my guest up all night, there were a few dirty spots on furniture, fireplace and picture, housekeeping was in our room around 5 pm on Saturday and removed the trash and only two hand towels and not sure why; they also left a bag of all cleaning items with food mixed in with them (not healthy) even though we didn’t use any of the cleaning items… I asked for sugar and was brought only four individual packets for a guest of two just as it was upon arriving and staying for four days we only were accommodated for four packets to begin with; that was a big joke, I hated to call back and ask for more and the creamer was outdated. other than that I was very happy. Thank you to the manager who drove us to our suite and helped with luggage. We really needed 11 am checkout.
