I liked the rustic setting, pool, jacuzzi and pball courts. However, I was kept awake two straight nights by loud party noise and music. I wish property had informed me on check-in that my room overlooked an event center with wedding parties both nights of my stay and offered me a different location. I had the windows closed too.
