This has been our family’s third time visiting this resort. The staff are always extremely friendly and always very helpful. The villa we had this time had tiny ants in the kitchen and it seemed like we had maintenance out almost every day spraying deterrent, but nothing seemed to help… That was the only downside of our stay.

This was our first time at the resort and it was fabulous - we spent 5 nights. Our room was very clean and spacious. The private balcony was a nice bonus! Full kitchen and living room areas were definitely welcome. The king sized bed was very comfy. Pools on site were great especially during the week when they were less busy. It was a great location too, as it was an easy an easy 15-20 min drive to Escondido for groceries, restaurants, etc. We would definitely recommend this resort to our friends!
