What Our Guests
Are Saying

The room was clean my view was nice & you do not have to leave the property to enjoy yourself. Harry Ts & Margaritaville have awesome food and drinks. And you can zip line, eat from food trucks, buy souvenirs & even get a massage all in one place. I will most definitely be staying there again.

We just had our daughter’s wedding here last weekend. Emily and her assistant Taylor took care of everything! They made sure everything was taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about anything. They even decorate the tables for the reception! Thank you, guys, so much for making this special day go so smooth.
