"Check in was the worst I had to wait until 5:00pm as they gave me a room with an accessible bathroom that I didn’t want or asked for. Overall after that, everything was smooth. The food at the pool restaurant was good The beach is beautiful but water is very deep so if you have small kids that don’t know how to swim you are stuck at the pool. But realistically it’s like that almost everywhere. I would come back, hoping for more attention."
