Great room and very clean. We reserved the room with the jacuzzi tub for my son who was really excited for that.

Also, wanted to say we rented a cabana at the boulder springs pool and our attendant Theo was awesome and very helpful!

This property has many different activities available but we had offsite excursions planned everyday so did not get a chance to try them.
