Great spot, friendly staff. Food at the club wasn’t the best, but the drinks and atmosphere were fantastic! The gym and pickle ball are fun and easy to get to. Everything is walkable inside River Dunes and “town” is only a few minutes away.

The room was beautiful and very clean. I would suggest a sponge if you're going to provide dish detergent. The pool water was very dirty. We really wished it was cleaner. It kind of grossed us out.
