3/5
Liked: We stayed here for 2 weeks. There is only 1 restaurant on the property and you need reservations for dinner and if you dont call early in the morning you are not going to get them. It is not open every night either.
-
2/5
Liked: There was a group of 8 people that stayed at this hotel. 3 of our group got really sick with food poisoning. We really didnt eat out of the hotel so we got sick from the food they served. My spouse ended in the hospital due to the food poisoning.
