The resort is perfect for any type of getaway—whether you're with family, as a couple, or just looking to relax. My husband and I brought along our 2-year-old son, and we all had an amazing time. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our stay. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the beachside water activities kept us entertained for hours—we spent most of our time soaking up the sun there. The DJ and live music were such a fun bonus and really added to the experience. The only downsides were that the bed was uncomfortable and the pools weren't heated during our stay. However, once we mentioned it to the staff, they addressed it right away, which we really appreciated. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back!

Nice!

I would stay here again. They were doing alot of renovations on the hotel but it didn't affect our stay. Only issue with the room was you could see the light around the door when it was closed. I wanted a late checkout and was told to check in the morning of checkout if i would be able to, recd a text that if i wanted a late check out to click the link but that lead to nowhere. We just checked out at normal time because it was tomuch of a hassle to obtain the late checkout. Beautiful property, friendly staff.
