3.5/5
Liked: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food served in all restaurants, including the buffet, was clean, tasty, and varied. The beach was nice and tidy with white sand. The property and pool area had a great ocean view.
Heads-up for parents: Cockroaches were encountered in both bedrooms that we rented in the washrooms three times during our 5-day stay. Though this issue was encountered, the bedrooms were very clean.

4/5
Liked: Beautiful style of layout, furniture, and d decor of communal areas , infinity pool is impressive! Food was good and variety of beverages. Staff were friendly and not overtly trying to get tips. They seemed happy with their employers.
Watch out: Rooms were dated and needed refurbishment. Toilets need soft close lids. Rooms need to be sprayed for mosquitos daily. Poor lighting in Rooms. Needs proper ironing board, rather than half board.

4/5
Liked: I liked the location the swim up bar and some of the staff were nice to me...
Watch out: I didn't enjoy my dinner at the little river Buffet restuarant on mother's day... I guess it was because the theme was roast night plus some of the meal was a bit too salty...
