The Americana Village

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Honestly for the price we paid we expected less but it is really such a lovely place. I would say “quaint” but sometimes people take that out of context. The place has a lot of character. It is not “fancy” like some big places but our room was big, beautiful and perfect for us. The grounds are lovely. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The breakfast was very nice. All in all it was an awesome stay."
