Was a little disappointed to get an upstairs room after requesting a ground floor room. This appears to be a communication error between expedia and the resort. Really enjoyed our stay. This was our second visit and is the place to stay if you just want to relax. Staff are great, friendly and always smiling. Betty was just the best. Her service was outstanding. Betty always had a genuine smile and always made time for a bit of a chat. Would highly recommend.
