Would of liked a better food variety in the buffet. I felt as if it was the same type of dishes out every night. They didn’t offer “kid friendly” ones for diner like you know burgers, chicken nuggets, etc.

We were given a room in a very poor location. Near a restaurant exhaust system. The room also had a very bad odor. Very musty, and reminded us of a dirty ashtray. It think it may have been a smoking room. It was nauseating. Nor much help from the front desk. Could not have taken another night in that room. The resort is also very popular with retiree's. 9 out of 10 couples were well over 65. The adults only pool and hot tub, and beach area are nice. Food was acceptable. Dont think i would do a repeat stay there, however. Mainly because of that stinky room and the elderly crowd.

Gorgeous ocean view, spotless clean rooms, extremely friendly staff very energetic and helpful, all inclusive food and drinks were the best part of my stay. Currency exchange directly at the front desk without having to risk going to a bank, gift shop very well stocked, clean bathrooms all over the property. Pools were very clean and relaxing, i could go on but i much rather go back again soon!
