Ocean is as bad as I’ve ever seen. It honestly looked like there was baby poop in it and it stink. If you are going from beach and ocean this is not the place for you.

"Loved the Governor’s Suite, clean and spacious. Our concierge Guillermo was great. We couldn’t enjoy the beach due to the amount and horrible smell of seaweed. Food was very good and massage at the SPA was amazing! A section of the property was under construction, but it didn’t bother us as there was no noise nor dust. Great experience overall."
