We got a pool view room, which had a sliding door leading out directly to the pool. Was really nice and convenient. I called several times for towels and for quick questions, the staff was super quick to respond each time.

One night was not enough. This place is fun and so many amenities are included in that mysterious “resort fee” that hotels always charge. Well worth the money.
