We have stayed here 4 times. Really like the beach area. Rooms could use more outlets- we brought an extender with additional outlets. Food is good no great, but could always find something good. Staff is friendly. Not aggressive with time share pitch. They will bring it up, but didn’t push when we declined.

Amazing resort

Our stay was amazing. The resort is beautiful. So many animals. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and well maintained. If you want quiet book a room away from the theater. Booking a cabana decreases the stress of finding chairs by the pool. We will definitely return to this location.
