9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,279 reviews)
The room was pretty small, they charge a resort fee & it’s definitely not a resort. The door man sat there, looked at us & said have a great day without ever moving - let alone opening the door when our hands were full. It’s an ok place in a declining area. It’s not bad. But just ok.

Enjoyed the Cave!! Be careful it is a little slippery in the cave. (We only did the lower cave, not the upper experience cave). The only dislike was the restrooms, they stunk so bad, if you cant tolerate smells much i suggeat you hold it in....
