"We had a wonderful stay. Our room was so secluded and private. Absolutely loved the private pool for cooling off. The ocean view was wonderful to wake up to and enjoy at the end of the day. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Customer service, serving people who are drinking all day is challenging to say the least. Every single person we met was friendly, happy to be of service and seemed genuinely cheerful. The food was wonderful and the drinks were great. There was a very wide variety of both. We absolutely loved spending time in the lazy river area. There were a lot of couples lounging and reading and it was a great way to spend a day. This is one experience where the stay exceeded my expectations. The photos really don’t do the experience justice. We will absolutely be back someday."
