Overall, my stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The facilities were excellent, with a wonderful pool area and plenty of recreational activities, but I faced some struggles with service during my stay. The dining experience was decent, although the prices felt high at times for the quality provided. While the location offered easy access to outdoor activities, I did find some aspects weren't up to par, such as the cleanliness in certain areas.

We had a nice stay overall, enjoying the resort's various activities and the beautiful pool area. However, the dining experience was quite disappointing due to high prices and limited breakfast choices. The lack of amenities like a mini-fridge or microwave substantially impacted our experience, and the lack of room cleanliness in one of our rooms was a letdown. The friendly staff were a highlight of our stay.

We had a decent stay at this resort, particularly enjoying the clean and welcoming pool area, which was a great hit with the kids. However, the rooms were a bit underwhelming, especially considering the high price point. The dining experiences were good, but they didn't quite make up for the overall feeling that the resort should have delivered more for what we paid.

I had an enjoyable week at this resort with a stunning view of the bay and access to fun activities. The cleanliness of the room was acceptable, though there was a slight musty smell in the air that warmed up after we aired it out. Overall, it was a fantastic experience aside from a few minor hiccups, particularly with the mini fridge. The location was a highlight, making it easy to explore local attractions.

I had an enjoyable experience at this resort, which is super family-friendly with a gorgeous pool and plenty of activities. However, I found the dining options to be quite pricey and mediocre at times. The location next to the bay is fantastic for outdoor activities, and the spacious rooms definitely enhanced my stay. Just be prepared for added fees for parking and amenities, which can add up quickly.
