We rented the suite with 3 beds for our family of 4 and it worked perfectly for the weekend. The room was clean and we had plenty of space. It was a little noisy at night with cars driving by and planes so bring earplugs if that bothers you. Everything is close by so you can get food quickly. Check in was really easy. I would stay here again.

It was very clean. The staff was lovely. It was all families too. It’s close to everything. They have a heated pool and that was awesome for my 7 year old. We are definitely going back but I’m going for a bigger room next time.
