Loved it, and will be back again in 2025!
It was amazing. Behind the gates and I never wanted to leave. The golf course was phenomenal and the resort was just as fantastic. Already booked my wife's birthday trip for next year here!

Donald who was my first point of contact was NOT welcoming at all, his customer service is the worse. Arrived Monday didn’t receive WiFi until Saturday this was after spending a total of at least 3 hours on the phone with Cox over 3-days. The Donald refused to contact them. The room was awful the bed was worn and sunken in the door let’s everyone know your status in the room the curtains do not close this place is sooo outdated and worn a 1’ crack under the door for all types of crawly creatures this place is the worse along with its customer service

Cute, cozy hotel!
Customer service was great! The room appeared clean upon entering however, there was an empty water bottle under the seat in the room by the bathroom, and the comforter had dried blood on it that we didn’t notice until we were stripping the bed to leave. My husband and I both checked everywhere and the blood was not from either of us. The bed was very comfortable, the grounds of the hotel were kept clean, and it was a cozy cute place! Overall, good stay! Just found things that could have been better!

Always a good stay
We have stayed here many times. Its a good location for our needs. Its clean. The pool area is nice however, the sectional sofa is disgustingly dirty. We layed towels over it just to sit on it. The restaurant is good. We really enjoy having our meals on the outdoor patio overlooking the golf course. The entire staff at the resort are very friendly. The bedding is comfortable but the rooms are very outdated. The walls are dark and the furniture clean but worn. There is no convenient bedside place to plug your phone in. The in room refrigerator is great to have.

Beautiful sunrise
Our stay was nice and the hotel was quiet. We just needed a place to sleep for the night but there were lots of restaurants accessible by car and it has a golf course. We got to watch the sun come up from our balcony.

Use to be a nice place, not worth the cost sadly.
The concrete walled room held mousture and with AC running my clothes felt wet along with bedding. The bed was very hard, i usually like firm bed but was like a board.
