A Paradise For Families
The resort is great for families. This can be a plus or minus depending on if you came with family. If not, you may feel a bit left out. There's plenty to do though, and if you have teens, you don't mind them wandering around the resort on their own. The place seems pretty safe. There is a kid's club, playground, and other fun activities for children.

Food Is Average
The food is nothing to write home about. It's extremely expensive, but the food is nothing special. The prices are outrageous as well. If you order a take-away pizza, you will probably faint at the price and the taste!
negative:
Mold, Mold, Everywhere
Maybe it's because of the ocean, but whatever the reason, you will have to tolerate the mold at the resort. Don't be surprised when opening the door to your room, you get a big whiff of it. Not only that, it could be on your linens, shower curtain, walls. It's a big issue at the resort. Even the life jackets have mold on them.
negative:
Ideal But Needs An Upgrade And More
Though the resort location is lovely, it could do with an upgrade. Service can be slow, so you may find yourself waiting for a half-hour for a bottle of water. The resort is practically in the middle of nowhere, which means you are just about stuck once you get there.
