The resort is beautiful and everyone on the staff that I encountered was very nice and professional. Nice dining options both at the resort or near the property like Dukes. The pool is awesome and the beach is perfect for water sports or volleyball. Conveniently located, easy to go up North or down south. Definitely recommend. I would stay here again.
