The property was amazing. We had a great time on our trip. The only downfall was that there was no showers once you got out of the ocean. Other than that it was all good.

Great communication via email. Transportation, safe, professional, on time. All the staff are amazing. Take advantage of the “beach club” it’s actually a pool & gym, well with $15 for the day - billed to your room.
