The food and drinks in the property was great! We were able to check in early as well. very close to shops/restaurants & we only rented a car for 1 day out of 5. Keep in mind we were really trying to just relax and unwind during our babymoon. Lots of renovations happening but still able to access the area.

Staff was fabulous! So friendly and accommodating . Only issue is room was very musty smelling (carpet a bad idea maybe?) . We had a very nice free upgrade to ocean view- however the band music from 5 stories down was so loud that even with closed doors and windows it was impossible to drown out the noise. They are upgrading the other tower so maybe once this other tower gets remodeled it won’t smell so old . Beautiful views and excellent staff though.

The construction was loud every day. A few wait staff was extremely nice and the rest were rude. The towel guy at the pool was a complete jerk. The rooms were outdated. The only thing that was nice on the resort was the outside view. Would not go back.
