Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The place was a little oasis of peace and calm with some of the friendliest staff members I have ever encountered. You truly are treated with a great deal of respect. My brother and I had a wonderful time and could fully relax. The atmosphere and set up really lightened the mood and made enjoying the holiday that much easier.
Negative: There was a slight issue with GPS. Unfortunately the maps did take us further from the location.
