Booked through Airbnb for a cabin at this location. The cabin we were given was completed different than the listing. The listing showed pictures of a completely newly renovated unit with new appliances, washroom, finishings and beds. The cabin we were checked in to was run down, old and not even cleaned properly! When asked about the discrepancy between the Airbnb listing and the unit itself, we were told that the units have the same floor plan and thus fulfilled their obligations (though the listing never stated that we may be given a different unit). Staff there were completely dismissive and

The pool was so much fun I just kept going on the water slide over and over again! The pool is also heated which is nice later in the evening. Having a playground, a pool and a convenience store with ice cream and kid snacks is great for a family with younger kids. And an outdoor public barbecue! Great customer service and a babysitter

Very neat resort. We visited in the off season (early September). 4 adults with 4 kids in Unit 38.
Pros:
- Staff was incredible. Everyone friendly and helpful.
- Waterpark and waterslide were amazing! Kids loved the pool and slides and it was a great way to burn off some steam.
- Mini golf. 18 hole mini golf. It could use a facelift but was a fun way to kill some time with the kids.
- Fenced patio. A ton of privacy, deck with patio furniture, BBQ, and propane fire pit for some drinks at the end of the day.
- Playground was amazing and added to the value.
- Convenience store was convenient

This place was not good at all, we stayed here expecting to get a cabin, it was way more like a motel with no privacy.
(Ours was one long building with four different motel rooms in it/cabin rooms)
The pool was over crowded, it costed over 220$ per night for a two room motel.
The convenience shop was probably the most inconvenient shop ever. (For one EXPIRED 591ml bottle of soda it was $3.00) where that would usually cost about $1.20 if it wasn’t expired. The ice cream was the only half decent thing in the shop, they only had three flavours, the staff was annoying, and it felt like we were

This place forms part of the epic fleecing I received when I visited the island this summer. Bottom line, this place is really over priced for what you get. And the development is quite packed / overloaded. Pool and waterslide was the high point for us, but again, packed to the point where people started getting turned away within about 30 minutes of it opening for the day. The 'cabin' I rented was
VERY small and cramped even for 2 adults and one child. The "green area" it opened onto was completely beaten up and un-maintained. $394 per night was what I paid - seems a lot for this place, and in

We stayed at one of the camping sites. The price is very high for what they are offering. The mini golf is an absolute joke. You can’t actually play on the course, the greens are in horrible condition. The pool is ok, they only heat one of the two pools and they don’t have an actual lifeguard on duty, just there staff running it.
The washroom situation was unsanitary. They don’t clean them at all and there was only 1 toilet for everyone staying in the resort plus 1 shower. This is not ok with the prices that they are charging. When I asked about the washrooms why they didn’t have the other
