Love the pool facilities, quiet. Little bit of a cruise ship feeling with the bar and restuarant near the pool. Rooms were not well maintained. The main light wasn’t working, soaps and shampoos not filled or not working. Absolutely no room service, not even fresh towels. Guess I shouldn’t complain considering the price.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is very outdated and needs some tlc. There are permanents living in the resort which made it feel untidy. We couldn’t keep our door open as the people beside us were smoking in their outdoor area. The only thing it has going for it is the stunning sunset over the water and mountains. Our kids loved the pool.
