Family vacation!
It was a nice place the only thing is the showers. The shower does not put out much water pressure at all and it’s very hard to wash your hair. If shorter than 6 ft it’s almost impossible.

The stay was nice but the only got 4 stars be the refrigerator in our room was not working and the pillows were hard as a rock. Other than that it was a nice stay.
