Lovely Place to spend a week.

Great stay, lovely clean resort. Staff were mostly glad we were there. Buffet was exceptional. Restaurants did want you through fast, and the food was good enough for an essence.

Couples Weekend Getaway

We took a long weekend trip. The entertainment team was by far the best part of our trip! We especially loved Elian who hosted an amazing aerobics class in the pool. Bartenders and the rest of the staff were great and super attentive. Beautiful views and clean rooms. Would definitely go back.
