Overall it is a nice resort although I would not consider this a five star caliber. The cost of food and partaking in activities are quite expensive - recommend going all-inclusive if you have a family that likes to eat. the quality of food is excellent. We tried to reserve few restaurants on the island but it seems they were booked the entire time we were there. There are no lifeguards around, so be careful with the young ones as the waves are quite strong on the north end of the island during August. Very clean and service is excellent. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.
