Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed here and the food was ok. The staff was nice, until I reached out to have some items shipped to me that I forgot in my room. It was a huge hassle. I contacted management and was very specific on what I left behind. They only shipped some of my items back. They kept some new items and denied that they were there. I was disappointed that they were dishonest and lied. If you go there, do not leave your stuff behind or unattended! They have yet to make this right.

We enjoyed our stay overall. It was very crowded especially with children. Should have opted for the adult only property. The walk to the beach is a little longer than most resorts we’ve stayed. I would also recommend a room that didn’t face the courtyard. The entertainment at night was nice but very loud when you just wanted to chill. Also in the morning with the buffet was rather loud. The restaurants don’t take reservations which made it difficult to get into unless you were waiting in line at 5:15 and even then no guarantee. Really nice resort but not what I expected after other resorts I’ve been to.

Overall, the property is amazing. The rooms are well maintained and my family and I has an amazing week. The only two, very nitpicky problems, were 1) the location is far from many attractions and it's a 40 min drive to downtown, and 2) some of the lounge chairs in the pool areas have seen better days.
