8.6/10 Excellent! (432 reviews)

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly, the condo was roomy and cozy. The only reason I didn’t leave 5 stars is because the pool was having maintenance done 4 out of the 6 days we were there and we weren’t made aware prior. Also, the extra linens for the pull out bed were soiled. But having a washer and dryer in the condo it was an easy fix.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)

Beautiful resort - peaceful beach, quiet rooms, multiple options for relaxing in the sun and/or shade and accessing water for a cool dip. The Canoe restaurant is absurdly overpriced. A glass of cab wine for $38 and standard cocktails at $27? We easily hit $450 after tip for two people. Good luck finding an ice machine - one per floor and hidden away in a staff only closet. The beach scene is wonderful - as was the beach waitstaff. The early morning water excursions were great. Skip the Luau - it felt like a large format wedding tucked back behind the hotel away from the water/no view of the sunset. However, if you really want the luau experience, pay up for the VIP tickets for superior seating and open bar.
