My wife and I spent the night for our 20th anniversary. Check in was a little rocky as my wife had to go back through the check-in line to get the vouchers that came with our room package.

We got a villa room and it was fantastic. My wife said it was one of the best rooms that we've ever gotten. Given how many of the other villas that seemed to be empty, we were a little disappointed to end up with neighbors.

We spent some time in the aquatic park. There is an upper level with an adult pool and a hot tub. Unfortunately, the was enough trash in the hot tub that we didn't feel it was worth it to get in. I'm sure it was probably related to the very large group which had just left that day and that the staff hasn't had a chance to get there by mid afternoon. The lazy river was a lot of fun and we ended up staying there for more than long enough to get a little "sun kissed."

We got vouchers for breakfast and took advantage of the buffet in 157. The food was kind of mediocre, but we were both impressed that they at least heated the pancake syrup.

We ended our stay with a trip to the spa for a couples massage. The spa staff was very pleasant and professional. We left relaxed and happy.

There were a lot of spider webs around the property and things such as that. Really it was the little things like that and our check-in experience which kept me from giving them a 5th star.
