I loved my stay here!!! The only things I wasn’t as crazy about is that the size is really large to get from one side to the other (say if you want a coffee) and it’s not terribly soundproofed; I could hear a lot of shouting in the halls and the people making noise in the room above me. Still an absolutely wonderful stay, but worth keeping in mind depending on the purposes of your visit!

This property was beautiful and had so many things to do: restaurants, a coffee shop, endless lounge areas, 2 pools, 2 hottubs, waterslides, an area for outdoor games like ping pong, cornhole and chess, a spa and beach chairs and beach toys were provided so you could enjoy the beach across the street. The room and bathroom were of a substantial size, well maintained and very clean. All the staff were amazing and the service was top notch. You also were close walking distance to shops and many restaurants. Our regular room had a patio with a beach view. I would come back and stay here in a heartbeat. It felt like a luxury hotel.
