The pool is huge with lots of space to sprawl out and hang out on a towel or blanket when not in the water. Very well taken care of.

It wasn't nearly as crowded as I expected it to be-there was lots of space to spread out. I was also impressed with how clean everything was. The snack bar had lots of tasty and affordable options.
