The staff were all very very friendly and helpful! The housekeepers did an amazing job keeping the facilities clean and organized. Only complaint is the rude parents that allowed their kids to run around all over the place at all hours of the night. But other than that the staff and facility was very nice and had plenty of options for dinner and lunch within walking distance
