The property was beautiful and the staff were great. The issue I had is for the price, the room should have been bigger. We paid about $800 per night for a 2 queen room and it was sort of small. The distance from the bed to the wall where the TV was- was narrow. We kept having to go 1 at a time through that a space. Toilet paper was rough. The bed was very comfortable and direct and early access to Epic Universe was a plus.
2 queen room pool view. Picture is when we were leaving.
