We were upgraded to a suite which was very clean and spacious. Unfortunately the bed was not very. comfortable, but the location and amenities more than made up for this one negative aspect and we would happily return to this resort.

This was our second time coming after 12 years everything was renovated. All I can say is this resort is so quiet, peaceful and relaxing. We came with our 2 small children and we were able to just have peace and relax. Service was great everywhere. We can't wait to come back.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The view was incredible. Housekeeping staff was great about getting the sand out of the room. Loved the tiki bar(a tad bit expensive)but nice to have handy. Wish the pool stayed open until 9-10pm. Closed at 7pm is hard for late evening swimners. Very quiet and secluded.
