The view is amazing and it's perfect from every room basically. Full size kitchen basically with everything you need to cook if you want. Restaurant downstairs is great not ridiculously priced if you don't want to leave. The rooms are set up wonderfully like a one bedroom apartment. At least in mine a full and half bath which was impressive. Beach is perfect we had a great time on the boogie boards we brought. Pools are wonderful for kids.
