⸻ We expected the hotel to be more family-friendly. The kids club was always closed and it was impossible to reach anyone there. There weren’t many kids’ menu options and not a lot of activities for children. On the positive side, the hotel is very beautiful, clean, and the staff is friendly. However, the price feels very high compared to the overall value received.

We like the location, and the hotel is clean. However, checking in at 4 PM is frustrating. We arrived from Vegas around 11 AM but had to wait 3 hours for our room. The beach is crystal clear, and we can see fish in the warm water, but jellyfish can be scary and can cause temporary itchiness.

One of the pools was under construction and closed while we were there. Luckily there were two other pools to use. They have great amenities. Walking distance to the ocean with chairs/ umbrellas for a daily fee. They had plenty of spots to wash sand off your feet. Bar by the private beach had good lunch type food. The water pressure in the tub was terrible- want to take a bath forget it. The tub might fill in a few hours. The toilet also ran for an unusually long time and their WiFi was done for the last part of our trip which also mean all their systems were down. The Nespresso in room and Starbucks machine down the hall will chilled water fill up stations was amazing. We were not impressed with the Spa Massages or pedicures as they weren’t the quality we get at home and cost about triple. Overall we had a great time.
