Loved watching the activities....the appointments of the common rooms were very lovely in both hotels. Property, even though under construction in places, was well maintained.

Our king bed was very uncomfortable, very soft so you felt you were in a hole Apparently there was a power failure which resulted in a generator also failing in the restaurant hotel Yellow Pony located in.The staff did their best to overcome the difficulities presented. My meal was very overpriced at the Yellow Pony(only 6 shrimp that were med-lg size over grits and some okra),but smoked salmon bagel at the grab and go in the other hotel was a bargain and delish for breakfast.

The room was a nice size and clean. Nothing was a miss. The shower was large and had ample space with a rainfall shower head. Lobby was impressive. They had multiple restaurants that we didn't get to try but looked good. They had lots of options.

Golf carts parking everywhere making it hard to get spot in the back of the hotel
