Overpriced. There is no actual access to any beach, so you are paying an exorbitant amount of money just to swim in a pool. Our TV and phone were dead when we arrived. After complaining, they managed to get the TV up, but the phone was dead all visit and I couldn’t reach the front desk. The area does not offer much variety of dining and getting around is not easy without a car. Best to spend your money elsewhere.

In the hotel's advertising they say that they have beaches, but no one can swim on these beaches, it is a dock for boats, in conclusion the hotel does NOT have beaches.

Stayed here for 3 nights, The hotel and facilities were great but unfortunately they had issues with the hot water and we had no hot water for 2 days and the fire department was there at least twice because the fire alarms kept going off. The hotel did give us a small credit but the lack of communication and no updates for the 2 days without hot water was disappointing.

Pretty grounds and lobby but chaotic pool scene
Mixed feelings about this resort. The lobby and grounds are beautiful. The water amenities (kayaks, paddle boards) were awesome, as was the attendant. Biggest issue was the hotel was super crowded on 2 of the 3 days we were there. So crowded, we couldn’t find chairs to sit on by the pool or beach. And yet we paid nearly $500 for that night. I think outside people come for the restaurant and tiki bar and stay at the pool. It was also a chaotic clientele. It was super hot during our stay and the pool was hot. Plus the ocean is not really that desirable to swim in- no real beach and very shallow and lots of plants. Also, the actual rooms were just OK. Seems like the hotel was updated with new lobby and new room furnishings and new flooring but it is otherwise a dated property. I will say the complimentary laundry was great.
