9/10 Wonderful! (553 reviews)

Overall reviews would be back, the views are pretty amazing, the private beach is great, the food was mid, they seem to have many restaurants because you can see the signs and entrances, but most were closed. 2 were open and they only served at certain times which can be inconvenient, but for me was not that big of a deal. Room was really clean, and had everything you needed, but they never stocked my fridge. Very limited room service menu. Pool was super clean so was the beach.
