Overall, the property was nice. The food options were very good and, the food itself was excellent. The alcoholic beverages were not so good. They had little to no flavor. The property was full to capacity and it felt very crowded. The adult only pool was non existent. We booked spa appointments and were very happy with the prices and services. The beach was great, too. Overall, a good place with something for everyone. Just crowded & disappointing that they didn’t enforce the adult only pool.

Beach and food worth a repeat visit.
Our room was one of the unrenovated Ones so definitely needs an upgrade. By the time we left people had started partying and puking around the pool area. Which was nicely done. The grounds lovely other than that. The staff were really nice and the beach views gorgeous. Food is worth going back for.

Nous avons été de passage 2 nuits. Le personnel est accueillant. L'endroit est propre et la nourriture est bien. Par contre, l'espace piscine et plage est exigu et manque d'emplacement à l'abri du soleil. Des odeurs d'égouts étaient très fortes en fin de journée et en soirée. Le système de climatisation dans la chambre était bruyant. Nous n'y retournerons pas.
