Bad Beds Ruined Our Stay
We were so happy with our room but after 2 nite our backs were killing us. The frame was concrete with a box spring on top....but no mattress. We could not enjoy the pool our surf together because the safe in our room was not bolted down and so we had to carry our passports and money with us. Maids were continuously knocking on door wanting to clean the room after they already cleaned it. The ice machines could not keep up with the volumn. Hotel staff did bring up waffle pads to put on bed but it was still very hard. The employees were very nice and tried to please us and always had wet towels waiting for us at the hotel when we came in all hot and sticky from shopping. Also enjoyed letting the baby turtles go into the surf .The activitie directors were always gone so we could not get anything extra planned,.

Perfect for some quality time with the family
This hotel is one of the first on this beach. The food, pools, beach, and activities for the kids (and overage kids) are very good, but the quality of the service and attention by the staff are what push the overall rating of this resort to "excellent".
Traveler's tip
If you decide to extend your stay (and you probably will) book the additional nights via Expedia and then work with the staff to keep your original rooms if you are comfortable there. Booking additional nights directly with the hotel can be considerably more expensive.
