Everybody was so accommodating. Smiles on everybody’s faces. Every staff remembered who you are. Staff was maintaining the grounds or cleaning rooms 24/7. Having access to two restaurants, 3 bars, and cabana beach was great. If you didn’t like those options, everything else was just a few hundred yards of a walk if that. Will definitely be staying again on my trip back.

The staff, rooms and grounds were great. I just wished they had restaurants on the resort that was open past 6pm. Also people are on vacation no one is trying to get kicked off the beach by 6 & then have to go find food since it’s not an all inclusive place. All rooms should get wash clothes not a boxed towelette. You need wash clothes to wash your face as well as your body.

6/10 Good

If you’re going for the swimming pool, you’ll be disappointed. Their strong feature, is the beach. The beach is amazing. They’re also connected to a beach walkway with restaurants and shops. They also give you a pass to a full gym on the beach walkway. if you like working out on vacation, this is a great feature. The Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean. It’s a nice resort. I just wish the pools were better.
