8.6/10 Excellent! (494 reviews)
Amazing property, well maintained and felt very safe. Location is just okay, unless you’re planning on staying on the resort only. I would recommend renting a car if you’re a tourist to go out for dinners and amenities as they are approximately 15 minute drive away

9/10 Wonderful! (61 reviews)
Hotel is away from most amenities. To stay here, a car is needed. Bolt was a savior.
Beach is down a set of steep stairs with broken steps. Hotel messed up on an order for vegetarian Caesar salad when it was served with bacon and chicken.
Lounge entertainment was a nice diversion.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (162 reviews)
Room was Clean, Staff was friendly, Bathroom was spacious. Bed was nice. The only reason for the 4 is: 5th floor elevator is not the main elevator and it is located in seperate area and only fits 2 people with no luggage or one person with luggage. You then walk an unenclosed hallway to the outside to get to your 5th floor room. Fine if the weather is good but not ideal if its not. All and all a very nice place just know that uf you book 5th floor you will not use the large primary elevators. Also note parking padlocks could use being replaced. Padlock on parking gate is rusted and hard and my wife could not close.Again a great location and 5-8 min walk to beach and dining.
