My husband and I just returned from our awesome experience……The resort was amazing! The property of resort itself was beautifully kept, and had such a relaxing/fun feel. The beach and pools were so beautiful, and clean. There were always lounge chairs and towels available at anytime. The rooms were gorgeous, comfortable and decorated with a tropical Margaritaville theme; same as rest of resort. The service and hospitality at all the restaurants and bars was fantastic. All the staff at this resort were friendly, kind and helpful. We felt really welcome and enjoyed all our conversations. The restaurants and cuisine were perfect, and all our meals and drinks were delicious! We both can’t wait to go back for our next vacation.

Property is beautiful but not much to do. Most activities have to be booked 24hrs in advance and no flexibility for last minute add-ons. Entertainment was not that great, Food and drinks were okay. I didn't like staff not being open about Menu. For example, we didn't see steaks of their menu and when we asked if we could have steak, we were told they didn't have any. When we downloaded their app, we saw steak on the menu and showed it to them. Magically, steaks appeared. Same with some special drinks we requested. Also, taxi service range from $50-100 one way depending on time of the day. Resort does not offer transportation. I don't think I'll be returning to this place.
