The room that we were given, was on the first floor very small opportunity to see the ocean, but you could see two abandoned properties that was partially under construction not a great view. We were told that this facility would take care of any food, allergies that definitely was not the case my wife was cross contaminated three different meals, they tell you they understand allergies they clearly do not. if you have food, allergies like we deal with this is not the place for you.!

We were overlooking two abandoned properties that had started construction and stopped. Could barely see the ocean on the first floor not what we was expecting. They advertise if you have food allergies to list those we did. My wife was cross contaminated three different times ruining our meal experience not happy.!

Great little place to getaway for a few days. Dining options were perfect, and they even offered some evening entertainment in their theater area. The pools were not overcrowded with some wonderful bartenders (especially Mini Me). My only issue is the location of restrooms while at the pool area; have to walk to the spa area and go down stairs to access the restrooms - not located near the pool. Overall, enjoyable experience.
