Our stay was awesome! From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we felt like royalty :):) The staff and service overall was amazing! Really felt like home away from home, we made many friends and the highlight was the dinner and dance at the grill room !! :) :) We definitely are going to do this more often! And thank you for my belated birthday surprise delivered to our room :) Love from the "The Bothas"'
