If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay this would be it! Restaurants & night life are right at your feet, pools and beach are beautiful, accommodations are clean and nicely kept. Only downside would be for anyone with physical disabilities because of no elevator. It’s not all inclusive but relatively affordable.

We enjoyed our stay overall but a few things need improvement. Pros: amazing infinity pool at the beach club. beautiful beachfront property, plenty of parking, large mini fridge, bed was decent. Spacious balconies, double sinks, beautiful landscaping & flower varieties, close proximity to other restaurants & stores, connected grocery store. Cons: Housekeeping doesn’t come until day 3. The ac unit above our bed sweated every night (even without us opening the balcony) and dripped on our heads :/ . The private pool needs some restoration work. We thought we lucked up when we saw that no one was there but soon realized why. The pool had tons of bugs in it and was in need of cleaning. The poolside bar bites were underwhelming.

Our experience for our honeymoon was nothing short of amazing! My husband and I were greeted with great hospitality and our room was decorated with a complimentary bottle of champagne. The room was amazing and the view from the balcony was spectacular. There was a spa, casino, plenty of bars, and a tattoo shop on our resort. There was even a supermarket which was convenient especially for those that don’t drive. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. I would highly recommend this resort for families, couples, or solo travelers!

The property was very clean and the rooms were OK. The staff was very nice however I stayed there for six days and housekeeping only came twice on my last two days. The food from the restaurant next to the bar in front of the pool was terrible. My burger was nasty and my wings were undercooked. I had to send it back and they still came back undercooked. I also waited 30 minutes to get my food, but the staff was really sweet and understanding.

The property was beautiful, well maintained and easy to navigate. The staff was always pleasant and helpful. The highlight of the property was the supermarket that is right underneath the hotel. It had everything you needed. Snacks, mixers for drinks, hot foods, etc. However the food was subpar. But there are food trucks less than 10 min away with a variety of choices at a reasonable price.

Their " beachfest" the day we arrived was a very obnoxious loud rapper artist that went on till 3am, called reception at 1am , not helpful. This is a monthly event. No hot shower for 1st 3 days, staff was rude when repeatedly asked for them to fix it. They offered a late check out last day. Won't go back again. Too bad because location was great
