 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kerry at the front desk is amazing. She knew by name by hard and addressed me as such each time she saw me in the lobby. This resort is awesome. Pool and beach is lovely. I went there to relax and I got just that. The breakfast was great each morning as well. I will definitely be back. Rooms were nice and clean and I love that it's quiet time at 10 p.m. Really enjoyed the fireworks for Labor Day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So Diego, 5 stars!!! Killing it at the bar, but where’s his back up!!! The kid is getting slammed at the bar and no help. He handled it so well, such a good guy and great bartender!!! But situation awareness from the other staff. Worked in restaurants and bars for two decades. If food is sitting in the window run it for the guy who’s got a full bar!!! And check on him once in while!!! Again Diego is some who you want around don’t kill him behind the bar with no back up.
