I like how awesome the staff was, what I did like was some of the out door games needed to be replaced around the beach, and the out door sound system wasn’t working around the whole property, also. Think they need at least two more fire table and live music at least 4 days of the week.

The courtyard and pool area were beautiful! When we arrived, we were told that there would be no boat transportation due to scheduled repairs and we would hear jackhammering in the room from 10 am to 5 pm due to repairs. We were still charged the $70.00 per night resort fee.

The employees were incompetent, and our credit cards were charged twice. We ordered breakfast, that never came and they charged us anyway. The resort was being rehabbed, which not one told us, and the van that was supposed to be free for transport was broken down. Nice resort, horrible service.
