This resort is also home to the well-known Figure 8 Pool and Spa, in addition to three other on site pools, five hot tubs, a golf course, and two restaurants.

Pros (+) Nothing, didn’t stay
Cons (-) They have a 30 day can elation rule, no exceptions. My wife got ill 5 days prior to our visit and we were forced to pay in full! Stay at a local hotel/motel that has a more modern approach to cancelations, they are not your only option.
