Travelled with family
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

Waterside option

Upon checkin, greet guests with amenities first, not rules or what they can't do. Just something I noticed. Nice clean grounds, pool, and peer. Room though small, was sufficient for the night. Slept well and loved the hammock. Again, clean grounds.
