"The place and staff was amazing our stay was wonderful it made our family vacation the best we've had. We will definitely be booking again for next year's vacation."
"We had an amazing stay! Our room had a beautiful beach view and overlooked the pool, making it the perfect place to relax. This was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had in a long time.
I wish Expedia allowed half-star ratings because I would give this resort 4.5 stars. The only reason I didn't feel it was a perfect 5-star experience was the food and a few minor inconveniences.
Of all the restaurants on the resort, the only ones that truly delivered a quality dining experience were...

"We enjoyed our stay here very much. Love the schoolhouse vibe. The staff were welcoming and friendly. One suggestion would be to install towel hanging hooks or rings on the framing wall outside the shower. The shelf above the toilet is a risky spot for towels. The hooks on the door is just enough to hang robes or clothings."
