We loved the location and the view from our balcony. I also loved the snorkeling and clean beach. Our room was decorated by housekeeping for my wife's bday, which was also really cool. Overall, we were very happy! I would say that the only thing that we thought could have been better was the food. It was very average, but not bad. The buffet and Asian restaurant were the by far the best.
