Loved the resort. The grounds and buildings were maintained nicely. The beach access was amazing with humpback whales 30-40 feet off of the beach. The staff did an amazing job. They were always upbeat and willing to assist.

Overall very nice. A few down sides is most of the food was over cooked, even at the restaurants. We were part of the elite club and told we could use all the restaurants on the app. Since the 2 resorts were also part, when we tried were told no. The other resort restaurants shouldn’t have been on the app if can’t use. Staff was wonderful.
