We had a great time here. Great for the kids to swim, run around and also be beach side and play in a sand box. Live music in the evenings was a big hit and the food was excellent on site at every restaurant. Downsides- I thought the pool area could use an upgrade (lounge chairs and things are old and could be so much more beautiful) and when trying to coordinate kids activities and sitters, they were not helpful at all and the people at the kid area were young and not very good at customer service or finding helpful ways solutions. Other than that it was a great experience.

The property was breathtaking, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I stayed in both oceanfront king rooms with the beach view soak tubs, and each room exceeded my expectations. I ended up extending my stay by an extra day to celebrate my birthday, and I had an amazing time. I plan to visit again soon!

The resort is beautiful, well worth it. The room was nice, and the AC worked! The staff was great! We ate at the sushi and main restaurants, and both were excellent. The pools and bar next to them were great, except the chairs get taken up early, so try reserving before you lounge. I’m not giving it 5 stars only because the beach is covered in seaweed (grass?) which you wouldn’t know until you get there. Obviously not something they can control nor advertise, but it was a disappointment. They could do better with the cups around the pool. They use one-time-use plastic, but could try out a reusable cup? Definitely worth a stay.
