The staff which includes, front desk, housekeeping, bellman, and restaurant staff were all great. The rooms were comfortable but they are beginning to show their age. I think I heard they were going to begin refurbishing the rooms next year which is definitely needed if they want to be considered a deluxe resort. Overall a great place to stay especially with kids, who would love to see the animals that roam throughout the resort.
