My stay at the resort had some ups and downs. The spacious units provided a comfortable space for my group, and the access to outdoor activities was a huge plus, making our trip quite adventurous. However, I was disappointed with the rooms due to a strong chemical odor that lingered, and the noisy heater made it difficult to relax. Overall, I appreciated the recreational facilities available but feel there could be improvements to ensure comfort in the rooms.
