Great atmosphere! A lot of activities for the kids. The pools were clean and the staff was friendly. We were impressed with the life guards and the safety checks they do. The only down fall is that the rooms need a refresh again. The beds need a replace and room needs new carpets and fresh paint. Other than that the kids had a blast.
