10/10 Excellent
"The shuttle people were extremely friendly and helpful. It was so nice to enjoy all the amenities the resort offered. The pool was advertised as heated, but we found it a bit cold. I think the mudslides were mediocre, not enough alcohol. The girls in the coffee shop very accommodating and pleasant. Overall we loved it and look forward to returning next year."

"Room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We also liked the location. We were able to walk from the ferry and to restaurants, beach and bike rentals. The only negative was the noise from traffic on the street made it impossible to sleep with the windows open and it was too stuffy with them closed. The portable AC was very loud and we preferred keeping the windows open. Otherwise we had a lovely stay."
