Stay at AB resort
"We've stayed at AB resort before and had a certain type room. We were expecting same type of room, but got a different type room that was a bit cramped for four but it worked ok. Also they've started charging for parking at the resort, which is kind of odd and unnecessary, but it is what it is."
