I had a lovely time at the resort, where the beach was pristine and the staff were exceptional. The family room was spacious enough for us all. Although there were a few minor issues with the seafood and some restaurant experiences that fell flat, the overall environment was delightful and safe. The price feels worth it for everything we enjoyed, but the proximity to the airport might be a factor for some.
Rooms

The family room was spacious enough for three adults and two kids, but it looked a bit dated. The bed arrangement with two double beds pushed together looked odd if you wanted them separated.

The service was among the best I've experienced. The staff was friendly and even remembered our names, which made us feel really special.

The resort is located quite close to the airport, which meant we heard planes taking off frequently. However, the private beach with beautiful white sands made up for it significantly.

The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a great variety of selections. However, the dinner options didn't impress us as much, and we even chose to eat off-property for some meals.

Our stay was truly enjoyable with a beautiful beach and great entertainment. The rooms could use some updates, but they were spacious and clean. The food was a big highlight, especially the jerk chicken on the beach. The pool area was usually well-maintained and we had no issues finding seats. Although the location is excellent, the short beach and some maintenance issues in the rooms were slight drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the beach and pools were enjoyable, and the jerk chicken hut was an absolute highlight, the service at various restaurants left much to be desired. The rooms were dated and had some issues, and dining could use more variety. Overall, it's a decent spot for a short escape, but there are some significant areas needing improvement.

I had a pretty good holiday at this hotel! The clean and comfortable rooms provided a nice escape from the heat, and the beach was stunning with beautiful white sands. However, the food did get repetitive after a while, and the evening entertainment options for teens were lacking. Overall, it was a fun stay, but some improvements would really elevate the experience.
