United States of AmericaVery clean everywhere. Check in / out process easy. Loved and impressed that it is energy efficient everywhere. The room was huge and the bathroom lovely. The pillows are heavenly. Towels available for the beach. Beautiful walkway to the beach which is picturesque and not rowdy. Plenty of choices for breakfast buffet (I missed lunch) and the dinner a la carte was very nice as well. Had the Best house burger at the pool bar and great cocktails too! Pool area spacious and not noisy. Very peaceful considering how big the hotel is. Sorry I couldn't stay longer but best choice to book here!

United States of AmericaThe property and grounds were very nice and well maintained. The food selection at breakfast and lunch was very good. We tried the sushi restaurant and the fish was of excellent quality with good portions but unfortunately the ambiance was lacking. the pools were very nice with many available loungers and the beach was stunning with small hiking trails above it, all easily accessible from the hotel.
