Great entertainment team! They were engaging and made sure everyone (all ages) had fun. The team was friendly and energetic. The property also has nice beach areas. Lots of palm trees for shade. The spa was nice. The food was just okay. The specialty restaurants were hard to schedule, we had 4 people and could not reserve all 4 at one time. Bring cash with you. Most excursions didn't take credit cards and there is no ATM on site.

It was good! My only complaints are that the bathrooms are located at the rear of the property. They are far from beach/buffet and all day time activities. And I don’t know why, but the staff tending the bar closest to the beach were extremely rude to me. Fair price, fair property.
