I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the facilities are excellent for families and the kids really loved the activities. The staff was helpful and accommodating when we needed assistance. However, I was disappointed with the dining options, as the food didn't meet the high standards I expected from this brand, and the rooms are quite a trek from the main areas, which can be tiring.

My family had a fantastic time at this resort, with exceptional service and a plethora of kid-friendly activities to keep everyone entertained. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering beautiful ocean views. However, I was a bit disappointed that the water slide was closed for renovation, and dining options could benefit from a bit more variety. Overall, it's a great family destination that provided great value for our stay.
