The hotel was clean and quite spacious. I found the bathrooms in the room to be very nice. The resort grounds were gorgeous and well kept. I spent some time at the three lovely pool areas. The staff allowed an early check-in after my overnight flight. I really appreciated that gesture. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly, as well.
