Very disappointed with the bed. Every time one turns the bed squeaks and makes too many noises. The mattress was horrible because it would sync you in. The towels were horrible because you felt like you were drying yourself up with a scrub brush.

Disliked: Staff & service
We had a great time. We didn’t spend much time in the room or the pool. What was upsetting about this trip is that on the second night we requested more towels (we were a family of four)and they asked us to come get them at the front desk, okay fine. When we got to the desk to get the towels, there were 5 towels folded there, when we reached out to grab them and the girl at the front desk stopped us and asked how many we needed, and we asked if we could take all of them, she made a noise like if she didn’t want us to take them all, so we said we need at least 4 and left 1 towel there on the desk.
