Loved the beach…plenty of chairs, and the restaurants’ staff…very friendly. Had some issues in my room. Toilet would not flush all the time, shower head was hard to get to work, maid took all dirty towels one day but didn’t leave us any clean ones, AND one night bees got into our room through the sliding doors! Luckily we were able to move to a different room, but I’m sure you know what a hassle that is! Wish list would be an elevator.

We loved using the Hobie Cats. Bloody Bay was large enough to get the catamaran going at a good clip. The room was cleaned exceptionally well each day. The wait staff in the cafeteria were very attentive. The only negative of our trip was the speciality Italian restaurant the food was cold.
