The resort offers amazing ocean views that really enhance the vacation experience. The staff were attentive and accommodating, making my stay enjoyable. However, the room we had didn't provide the oceanfront view that we expected, which was a letdown. Overall, it's a comfortable and well-located resort perfect for families, but be prepared to face some challenges if you're not part of the timeshare program.

The resort is located in a lovely area, but there were some drawbacks to my stay. The facilities and my studio room were modern and well-kept, though the view was disappointing. Additionally, the lack of mask enforcement during our stay made me feel uneasy about safety. While the amenities were decent, the noise from the upper units was bothersome, and the absence of room cleaning due to timeshare policies didn't sit well with me.

Our stay had distinct highlights, especially the breathtaking views and the helpful staff who were always ready to assist us. However, the experience was somewhat marred by the outdated room features and the pressure from timeshare sales that detracted from our overall enjoyment. There's definitely potential, but improvements are needed to enhance the stay.

While there were only vending machines for food which didn’t accept credit cards, we found good dining options nearby that made up for the lack on-site dining.

The facilities were well-kept, though a bit basic. The lack of a restaurant or snack bar on-site meant we had to venture out for meals, which was slightly inconvenient.

The resort is situated in a beautiful area, directly across from Avila Beach, which really enhances the vacation experience. The spacious rooms and well-stocked kitchens are fantastic for families. However, the dining options were severely lacking, which could be a drawback for some guests. While the amenities were mostly well-maintained, the parking layout was a bit awkward as it was on a hill.
