We had an amazing family getaway at this resort! The kids had a blast with all the activities, and we loved the beautiful lagoon pool and easy beach access. The cabin we stayed in was clean and well-equipped, but I did wish the kitchen had a pantry for extra space. Overall, it was an excellent value for money and we can't wait to return!

We've been returning here for over 20 years, and while we adore the location and vibe, there are definitely some areas that need attention. The amenities on 12th Avenue are in serious need of an upgrade, with toilets and showers leaking and the laundry machines often out of service. Given the prices we pay to stay here, it's disappointing that maintenance isn't being prioritized.

Rooms

The rooms are quite adequate for our family stays, but the ladder setup was not ideal, as the kids kept getting caught on a pole. We addressed that by removing the top mattresses to make it safe.

While we've always enjoyed our time here, the inconsistency of the amenities could use some improvement to enhance the overall experience.

The facilities are impressive, offering a great pool and a fun splash park. However, there were some issues with our cabin being less than perfect, including cleanliness and the need for some upgrades. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but felt it was a bit pricey for the condition of the accommodations.
