Bucket list resort.
It's not for a single person unless you bring your family. Overall the facility was fantastic everything you could ask for in a resort. My first of many times to come and vist felt like home away from home. The beach was amazing but the price was high but if you have a timeshare there it would probably be worth it to you.

This resort used to be amazing, but it has changed I guess over the years. No room service at all. Sink was clogged, mold in the bathroom above the shower. No bath tub stopper, no hangars. It’s almost a no frills hotel, if u want it bring it.

Excellent family friendly resort. There was plenty of things for the kids to do and the walk to the beach was short. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We would definitely book again.

Family vacation
It was a great family vacation. I just wish they would get the walk mats that go on beach for seniors like some places have. Most of the staff are friendly and try to help with what they can. I would recommend it because it is family friendly.
