We recently stayed at a hotel that offered a lovely family-friendly atmosphere with a great view of the pool area. The rooms were nicely decorated and made good use of space, though they felt a bit dark due to our location within a wooded area. The service was exceptional, especially with personalized touches that made our stay special. However, I did wish the rooms were a bit brighter to enhance the overall experience.

The hotel offers a cozy atmosphere, with well-appointed rooms that maximize limited space. I loved the beautiful pool area, and the staff, particularly Jess at the front desk, made our stay memorable. However, the room was a bit darker than expected due to its location in the hotel, and I felt there could have been more variety in the dining options. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially for families, but be prepared for some small quirks.
