I loved the ocean view . The room was perfect . Walls little thin could hear everyone all hours if the night kept getting woke up . Loved the breakfast. Absolutely a gorgeous place on a gorgeous island. Didnt like that breakfast was a add on charge and the $8 bottles of water charge seemed steep for water . But over all a beautiful resort

This was a great experience. Staff was great and lots to do! The only thing that is disappointing is that they charge a resort fee, which is understandable. However, they also charge a parking fee which isn't cool since you are paying for the room and resort fee.

My son and I went for a weekend, unfortunately it rained all weekend, but we thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the bar on the beach, walking down to the pier (we saw dolphins, a giant sea turtle, a stingray and jellyfish), and walked to a nearby restaurant that had seats facing the ocean. The entire resort was spotless and the breakfast buffet, delicious!

The room needs a closet & more places to hang up towels, etc. in the bathroom. Even though the property has no smoking signs, we couldn’t go out on our balcony with smelling someone smoking. People were even smoking/vaping in the pool.
