Overall best stays possible.
The location, security, and the room were awesome. In addition the village on property was awesome great food, drinks, able to walk no driving needed. The information how to get into the parking lot was confusing and we weren’t informed about needing a pass code to get into the garage

Thank you for the review. Glad the location, security, room, and on-site village worked so well for you. We apologize that the parking entry was confusing and that you weren’t informed about the passcode. We’ve shared your feedback with our team to clarify the check-in instructions and include the garage access details going forward. We hope to host you again soon.

About time
when you decide to get away places like this make it easy. park your car and you don't even have to leave the resort. it's all here to enjoy. there is something going on nearly everyday. The place has something that you don't feel rushed about things. stay inside and watch tv, or go outside and try something new, see a show, eat, take a swim in one of the many pools, or hit the beach. the choice is yours!

The condo is large, overlooking the trees and part of the bay, and short walking distance to restaurants, pool, and other family-friendly activities. Parking can be tough to find on holiday weekends, but the condo is worth the hunt. Definitely recommend booking!
