What the reviews say
Reviews are mixed, some great while others not so much. As far as the good is concerned, most guests rave about the large outdoor resort pool, stating that it is beautiful, clean and plenty big enough for large groups of resort guests. Those staying with kids also rave about the pool as their kids have enjoyed it as much as they have. The resort staff also gets high marks with many travelers feeling that they are both helpful and conscientious, making the stay even more enjoyable.
However, there are some guests that feel that although the rooms are nice and comfortable with room to walk, that the balconies are less than desirable with only enough room to hang clothes. Food on-site was also stated as being a bit overpriced for what you get and beach lovers were a little surprised at how far the nearest beach is- about a 10 minute walk. However there is a shuttle that runs both to the beach and mall a few times a day, making a walk unnecessary. All in all, the resort is considered a great stay, with many enjoying the location and feel of the resort and its rooms.
