I was a little anxious about staying here as some reviews had mentioned spiders but our cabin, number 140, overlooking the golf court on the side of the development was clean and bug free. The room was fine with a double bed and single bed, well equipped kitchenette area and small bathroom. We would have liked a light on both sides of the bed.The swimming pool looked very nice but we didn't use it… I was a little anxious about staying here as some reviews had mentioned spiders but our cabin, number 140, overlooking the golf court on the side of the development was clean and bug free.

We stayed 2 times for 2 nights each. Happy with the value and the place. The pool is really cool, I like the shape. The rooms are spacious and have a little kitchen plus nice beds and parking outside. The reception was really kind and it was a smooth process.We stayed 2 times for 2 nights each.
