Room was good the food was good staff was very good. Negatives for me were all bar stools have no high backs and n lounges were a bit uncomfortable and the monkeys we thought we would see around the resort were caged up nothing loose around the resort. Also the sports bar was closed during our stay however the beach and food made our stay worthwhile

The property was great. The was where we spent most of our time, but the beach was great too. Just a little rough for us old folks. Only complaint is more outlets in the rooms. The staff was fabulous. I understand it will be going through a remodel this spring. I hope they are able to retain the staff because they were the best.
