Nice hotel. All of the hotels are affiliated so that you can go to events or dine at the other hotels which is nice. Very happy with the Sails hotel, comfortable room. Bonus points for if they would heat the pool as it was freezing but overall a very nice hotel.

The property was nice enough, nothing amazing. Breakfast $55 per person! Save yourself money and stay at one of other local resorts. You will walk to same town center for reasonable priced coffee, pastries, supermarket, pizza, etc. it’s 5 min walk from any local hotel. All local hotels have free airport pickup/drop off!

I could not recommend this resort enough. Staff were super accommodating and attentive to all needs. I was overly impressed by this resort and all activities and tours booked throughout. You really get your moneys worth and this is an experience everyone should get to do! Also the fine dining had one of the best affogatos I’ve ever had!

Hotel main lobby areas and room in itself was good. Restaurants had limited food options. However its close from the town center which had better food offerings. Overall it has more of a motel type of vibe, so the price per night seems a bit high and 5 star definitely seems overrated.
