My recent stay at the resort was overall enjoyable, especially with the beautiful property and amenities for kids. However, I faced some frustration with unexpected parking fees and a lack of information on the website. The dining experience was pleasant, and the atmosphere during the seasonal lights event added to the charm. Yet, some attention to communication and cleanliness issues would enhance future visits.

Our stay was great overall, especially considering the value for money. The resort has a fantastic salt-water pool area that both kids and adults enjoyed. The dining options could use improvement, and the rooms felt a bit cramped for our family. However, the beautiful landscaping and fun activities for families made it a memorable getaway.
