Overall the resort was great! Cons:Maybe I’m picky but the sheets were not comfortable and the bed was very hard. I wish there was more wine choices as there was no rose unless you wanted to pay more which I find ridiculous. Pros: One of the cleanest resorts I have ever stayed at. Fun atmosphere overall and the beach was gorgeous. Food was pretty good the breakfast buffet especially. Almost anything you could think of was an option.

This property was great: clean rooms, friendly staff, wide variety of food at the resort. Walkable to aquarium and mall, felt safe. However, their transportation partner Connections was awful, after filling out their form, they still didn't know to pick us from the airport and we had to take a taxi. Once, we arrived I talk to representative to arrange transfer to airport. But the day before the transfer they still had no pick up time for me and when I called customer service, there was still no info. They finally sent me a confirmation on the day of pick 2 hours before the flight, but we're supposed to be a airport 3 hours prior, So we had to take taxi again. Be aware of them.

My vacation was awesome. The hotel super clean the staff super friendly peaceful stay. The only complaint the Elite Restaurant the service was good but the Lamb chops smelled which means they were not fresh and so I ordered the filet mignon and asked for med well and it was rare so for it to be the upscale for the Elite package was not good at all. I woul also have liked to see an indoor pool it rained two days . But I enjoyed my stay and I can't forget the spa day awesome clean and truly comfortable. It's in a great spot for shopping and off resort restaurants the souvenirs off the resort cheaper and the interactive aquarium is within walking distance. Great time

This modern property is in immaculate condition and has great potential. It is unfortunately let down by poor food (with some exceptions) and staff who were often rushing past, rather than rushing to, guests. The pools were great, Pepes and the steak house were great places to eat, and the staff at the lounge bar were awesome. These though were the exceptions. The lounge bar itself was a great place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the entertainment below but we were frustrated during our last 2 nights when other guests brought their speakers along and played them loud to drown out the entertainment. This shouldn’t be allowed but staff did not care to do anything, fairly typical of the experience overall.
