8/10 Good
"Property is good and view is nice. Staff only okay. The front desk staff all acted like we’re putting them out and only gave info in response to my questions (is there a resort map? Is there a gym? WiFi code?, etc) Logan at the pool was the exception- helpful, kind and always working! Walls are pretty thin. If you’re looking for a getaway right in SD it’s good but expect some rowdy pool day drinking."
