"It wasn’t a good experience. The pool closes at 7pm, the food wasn’t good and the front desk (I wish I got his name) is rude. If you’re disabled don’t even bother going there because they won’t help you. I wouldn’t recommend this place. Out of all the staff I have came cross with only three was nice. ..."
