the staff was wonderful. the rooms were basic but clean. there no is area to really sit around the pool. we were also told that we were not allowed to visit in our rooms though we were all guests. a family member had the penthouse and we were told we could not visit though we were all paying guests and all together we had rented 5 rooms. when looking at policy it states visitors but we were all guests of the hotel
