Good budget friendly property. A few things, so this is a timeshare property, so most lokely when you book, you are booking a unit in which one of the timeshare owners decided to sell their "time". No big deal, I just wanted to mention this because on the official website they say that guests who stay can visit the aquarium for free, but that is not true, you can only visit the aquarium for free if you are a timeshare owner. I loved everything about this place but the one thing I do jot like is big enough for me to NOT BOOK AGAIN, despite everything else being great, snd that is the parking. The parking is GOD awful! and its not because parking is hard to get, its that the parking is sooooooooooooooooooo far from the actual rooms...it is ridiculous! If you plan to book with someone who has mobility issues forget it. Dont book. The walk from the parking lot to the room is a 7-10 minute walk at minimum, and for that reason, I am only giving it 3 stars.

Excellent location with private beach, walking distance to several restaurants (although you get tourist prices), free shuttle to grocery store. Quiet, family oriented, friendly staff. If you get snorkeling equipment or anything else and return before checking out make sure the front desk shows you returned it, or you will get charged for it.

The location is very convenient and there are a lot of things to do in the area if you do not want to leave the facility. The breakfast is not buffet style which was the only drawback since I love my breakfast and my coffee!!

This property was absolutely gorgeous!!! Our room just happened to overlook the dolphin area from the aquarium, so we got to see the dolphin show right from the comfort of our own balcony daily!! The resorts in the area are all open, so you can easily walk to different beaches and use their chairs and such too but the beach at this resort was most private. We coordinated transportation to and from the airport directly with the property and it was super easy!! The resort offers shuttle transportation for free to sightsee and to Punda!! You just sign up once you get there. The staff was very friendly and we even booked couples massages on the beach at a very reasonable price!!
