    A Very Disappointing Experience!

    Wi-Fi was extremely slow, and I could not connect with my laptop. The check-in process was difficult because of very unprofessional and rude front desk staff. Overall customer service was poor. I was booked for 3 days. I checked out on the 2nd day and found me another hotel.

    Amazing Experience !

    The location is stunning. That alone is worth it. Everyone was nice and accommodating. The pool was great and the fire pits were so nice. Everything stayed open late and there was always someone to help. Love it here and will be coming back.
