Best stay ever. I loved the entertainment team, especially Alan! He was very professional, incredibly nice and made sure everyone had the time of their lives while doing the activities. He really makes sure you are seen and always made sure we knew he was there in case we needed any help. He has a pure soul and definitely deserves a raise! This man really made my stay feel very special. Thank you! Will return definitely.
