Kids' Paradise!

The kids' amenities were fantastic! From the lazy river to the nightly 'dive-in' movies, my children had an absolute blast. The staff organized fun activities, and seeing their faces light up with joy was priceless. It truly was an lovely experience for our family!

Great Eating Experience

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and portion sizes of the food offered at the hotel. The buffet breakfast was not only plentiful but also delicious! We also loved that kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal, making our dining experience both enjoyable and budget-friendly.

I had a nice stay at this resort with a few notable highlights and some hiccups. The resort is conveniently located by the beautiful beach and offers stunning ocean views. The rooms were clean, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. However, my initial room wasn't ready upon check-in, which was frustrating. Still, once I got settled into the right room, it was quite a comfortable stay with great amenities.

This resort spa is perfect for families looking for a fun getaway with kids, thanks to the relaxing pool area, including a lazy river. The staff truly goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, but there were a few hiccups during check-in and limited room service due to health protocols. The rooms were spotless, and the location is fantastic, right by the beach and close to various activities. However, there's a noticeable noise factor from the nearby air conditioning units.
