Mismatch warning
What not to assume
Do not pay for resort facilities while planning to leave every day. Conversely, do not choose a cheaper room outside the area if the group needs the resort’s accessibility and services.
Photography can show a property at its best. Confirm the booked room, current access, operating facilities and renovation status directly before free cancellation ends.
