The standard rooms are small and outdated. The pool and beach view rooms are nice, but still on the small side. The amenities are what is nice at this hotel. The pool area and beach bar area is great. Stay here for the amenities.

Hotel itself was mediocre. Rooms weren’t super clean. Location to the beach was amazing and the pools were great.

Everything was actually pretty great. The only thing that disappointed me was the fact that i made reservations well in advance. I requested adjoining rooms and we were given rooms that were on opposite ends of the wing we stayed on.

The place was overall a nice resort for a family stay. I didn’t care for the live music and was not much diversity.
