The pool area was really nice, some of the halls and parts of the rooms not so much. Our couch was stained up and the grounds around the resort had trash that was never picked up our entire stay. Its quite spread out so bring a beach wagon to carry things. I like that they provide shampoo/conditioner/and body wash in dispensers in the shower, one less thing to have to pack. They also provide towels for the pool/beach. There are loaner bikes you can sign out and putt putt golf to keep you entertained along with water activities you can book if you want to dolphin watch or snorkel(not included).

The property is beautiful, easy location. Everything is a good walk to get too too but otherwise the room and property itself was fantastic! My only concern is EVERYTHING closes at 8pm.. pools, restaurants, private beach, etc. I would understand 9-10 but 8pm is entirely too early.
