Convenient location on the alternative highway, but without sufficient comfort or quiet to justify the label of "resort." Staff very pleasant. Convenient parking; no crowding. Internet access effective and straightforward. Quiet in room. The curtains were thin (and the air conditioner blocked the blinds) making it suboptimal for anyone needing full dark for sleeping.

We stayed in a cabin. It was lovely. Nice and clean, while it was close to the road and you can hear road noise, it wasn't loud at all. A light sleeper wouldn't have a problem at all. Super convenient, highly recommend.

Very basic. The room needs a thorough cleaning. There was a very strong smell of some chemical (masking odours?) that gave us a headache. Took 4 hours of having doors and windows open to clear the air a bit. Bed was comfortable. Nice shower

Very dated and it was unclear where to check in on arrival, but room was clean enough and the waterslide was fun for 45 min. Unfortunately there is no pool and no real place to lounge while kids slide though and the slide is only open 1-4pm!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
We stayed in a large family suite with 3 bedrooms. Great value for the space, but most beds quite hard and uncomfortable. There was no toilet paper, the lady at the office had to give us her one roll from her own bathroom. Bathroom has a moldy smell, like it’s coming from the behind the tub surround. Pool is shut down due to health and safety concerns. Water slide is ancient, is not connected to the pool. It’s also very old- definitely a use at your own risk situation. Lovely property though, fig trees, gardens, and across from the ocean.

The towels were nice and the shower in our room was good. The water slide does not seem to come with water. The pond is decrepit. It would be a great setting for the series of unfortunate events. Overall, it’s what you should expect for the price but the description of the amenities needs an update.
