I loved the buffet staff. They were so attentive. the beach had beautiful soft sand and warm water. We had so much fun!

The gym had rusty equipment. There was no drinking water available. the sports bar seemed outdated. It reminded me of stepping back into the 90s.

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 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!
