Everything you need is right there at the resort. The ocean is a short walk, the water is clean and beautiful. The staff was very nice and the food was great. I would definitely go back again in the future.

Really friendly service - throughout the hotel. But standards of professionalism, attention to detail and timeliness were issues throughout. Unfortunately this means we found ourselves having to constantly manage these things ourselves - rather than being able to relax and have it all handled for us. Property is beautiful, kids club amazing, beach stunning, bed comfortable and bathroom awesome. Club lounge a highlight. And food everywhere awesome. So close to greatness...Could charge more I think - less guests, same revenue? Read less
