On the down side - if you are staying in an ocean view room they are very outdated and the wear and tear shows… It felt dirty. There are many dining options at the resort and the food was good but service lacked everywhere. Would sit 20-30 mins in a restaraunt after being seated with no menu or drink after 10 plus mins. Would be finished eating for a half hour with no sign of our waiter to get the check. Lastly, if you plan on leaving the resort you need to rent a car or schedule Ubers in advance. On the plus side, the property was stunning. There was so much to do… pools, palomino, water park, bars, golf course did not disappoint. Even coming during spring breaks, nothing felt overcrowded. Overall, with the exception of the room being kind of crappy and some dragged out dinners we still had a great time. I would recommend staying, just pay the little bit extra for an updated room.

Our room was in the older section w a service road right below. Service vehicles started daily at 6.30a. Room was very basic (our first room flooded so we needed to switch). Dining options were limited and pricey. The gym is tiny w limited space and equipment for the size pf the resort. No recycling facilities except for on Palomino Island. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Grounds are lovely.

Amazing

Great stay overall. 4 out 5 only because we were told the room we booked (in the Marina) would have construction in that area beginning around 7am. The front desk was candid about this being a source of complaints for some guests. They offered to move us to another room but charged a $75 per night upgrade fee. The renovation is a right the hotel has, and it's a great place to stay. We love it. This specific issue brings it just one star down from 5 because it felt a little unfair.

Fantastic place to stay. Multiple restaurants and bars. The private island and boat ride to it are a real bonus. Excellent golf course. The only downside wasn’t that bad—room was a little dated but very clean, good water pressure and great A/C. Overall, I highly recommend.
