The beach is wonderful! The food and beverages are excellent for an all- inclusive resort. You do not have to make reservations at restaurants! We were able to walk in and eat at every restaurant we wanted each night.

Beach is amazing, no rocks, shallow, clear waters. Located within a gated high-end community. Close to some shopping facilities and very safe to walk around or jogging. Quiet, very clean, not crowded, their facilities capacity is well thought...

The property has a very large beach front and the sand in front of the resort is very clean. No broken glass or stones and rocks to trip over. The pool areas are also kept very clean and there are plenty of chairs to stretch out on and umbrellas...
