The view from the room. Clean and comfortable. Had many activities within the resort.

The property sits on a very large parcel of land so you are sitting over side of a golf course and if you get the right room, you can see the water is just expansive - not cluttered.

We have stayed here several times in 2025. Mostly because the location is good for us and the amenities are nice. No road noise, little congestion, nice staff. We have yet to play golf or visit the casino.
