Staff vet attentive and friendly in this small, beautiful resort. Small but full of things to do including sharing amenities at their 2 nearby sister resorts small is NOT bad as this place has everything and is located in reach of everything you would want to do. Very clean and very well maintained. Very close to Supermarket, many restaurants, and a Liquor store nearby if you don't want to spend 18bucks for a drink, but you can wait until happy hour EVERY day 5 to 7 half price all drinks. Very quiet place, larger groups may feel out of place here. Saw many families with kids. Restaurant on premises all day. We will return!

The hotel did not honor the view room I ordered on Expedia. The view was of a lower hot tar roof with an air conditioning unit, which of course kept running and making noise all night long. The rest of the hotel and food was decent

Love the report
The resort is beautiful with excellent service and great views. Every area of the resort is very clean. We appreciate the shuttle to and from restaurants. The ability to enjoy all three resorts (Amara Cay, La Siesta and Three Waters) is a great bonus. Be sure to take the water taxi with Capt. Michael!
