clean resort delicious food good buffet congested beach missing cabanas weak air conditioner

the resort was clean. the specialty restaurants had delicious food. the buffet food was very good (i especially liked the variety of options). there were many loungers available around the pools everyday.

the beach was a little more congested. it did not have cabanas. i had a small issue with the air conditioner, it could have been a little colder.

The resort has many pools available . Each pool offers a distinct vibe and plenty of space. there is also a gym with several treadmills and various weight machines. It is adequate for a full workout.

The resort is right on the beach. This provides easy access to the ocean. the location also allows for convenient day trips to nearby attractions and excursions. It made exploring simple, though the parking was expensive!
