A fabulous resort for adults seeking total beachfront relaxation
This is our 5th return trip to this property. It is extremely well managed and a very high quality property in every aspect. The staff, especially the concierge and customer service people are fantastic for meeting any and all needs. The beach reservation system for umbrellas (via supplied I-pad) is fantastic and should be copied by every resort in the Caribbean! BUT... please make certain you read the declarations from the resort labelled "What we are and what we are not". This is not a beach party, limbo dancing, jet skiing wild vacation locale. This is a quiet, adults only, totally relaxing island vibe resort. Very high end food and accommodations for this looking to unwind. For those looking to find the party scene, games, loud music and wild bar scene and that whole thing, go to any hotel in the high rise district. It's there. No judgement but understand what you can find where.
