Overall not bad - my only complaint is that the carpets and floors were a little outdated/dirty. House keeping did come daily but did not appear to vaccum or mop. Air conditioner made small area of carpet wet. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Pools were very nice. Breakfast was so so - seemed a bit empty Some days but could’ve been the timing, however the breakfast staff was so sweet . Would stay again. I
