Good stay. We enjoyed our stay. Softer toilet paper would have been nice. Bricks by the island in the walkway were slippery. But overall loved the property.

The standard rooms are small and outdated. The pool and beach view rooms are nice, but still on the small side. The amenities are what is nice at this hotel. The pool area and beach bar area is great. Stay here for the amenities.

The resort was beautiful. The food was a bit pricey but so were restaurants next door. Lots of shopping and food in one plaza over next door as well. Housekeeping was amazing! Great job! Better than any other resorts we have stayed. Breakfast buffet is worth it. Has lots of choices and everyday has few different options and always something new everyday. Make sure to give room number if you get the deal with booking. Rate 10/10 oh and pool was AMAZING 😎
