A perfect family getaway! This resort is stunning and spacious, with plenty of room for kids to explore and play. The mini-golf course was a big hit, and the nightly s'mores by the firepit added such a cozy, fun touch—our kids loved it. The pools (indoor and outdoor) were great, and there’s ample space for little ones to run around without feeling cramped. One thing to note: the property has multiple levels connected by steps—sometimes two or even five steps between areas—so stroller access can be tricky if you're traveling with young kids. That said, the staff was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. From check-in to checkout, every interaction felt warm and seamless. Overall, an outstanding stay with top-notch service and a truly relaxing atmosphere. Definitely coming back!
