The property is need of several upgrades especially the lift for the special needs guest. Everyday there was an issue with the lift. I had to use the lift because I was there with my disabled son. The property also showed and gave special privileges to certain guests as to bringing food out of the restaurant in a to-go boxes, with I’m sure no questions asked. I took pictures of the special guest that were given special privilege to take to go boxes from the restaurant. They had on every color of the arm wrist which were orange, bluish-green and white. When I asked the first time for a to go box, I was told” I will do it this time” Sometimes i brought my son down to the restaurant and sometimes to make my stay easier on me I would feed him the room. After being told this time, is the reason I took pictures and saw several other guest that were given special privileges to take to-go plates and hundred percent sure that they wasn’t told “this time” I spoke with the guest manager regarding my issues as to the lift for the special needs guest and being given a hard time as to taking to go plates out the restaurant. She stated that is the resort policy not to take to-go plates out of the restaurant. Not knowing that I had already taken pictures of the guest that were given special privileges. She state that would let the staff know that it was okay for me to take the to-go plate, again I had already seen other special privilege guest taken them. I take vacations to try and relax

The wait staff at the bars and restaurants was excellent - very friendly and personable. The property location on Flamingo beach is outstanding - one of the most beautiful, swimmable, beaches in the area. The resort is well managed and maintained. However, the rooms need maintenance and upgrades to sustain the pricing. Our Junior Family suite was well equipped but had dirty windows overlooking the parking lot. The bathroom fixtures had the finish worn off with miss-matched tile colors and almost no water pressure in the shower. However, the bedding and AC were top of the line. We traveled without children, but they have a large kiddie pool completely shaded by a palapa with plenty of pool toys, and a newer playground set. The pool stays open into the evening with soft music, allowing for a peaceful evening swim before heading to the “5 O’clock Somewhere” bar or one of three on-site locations for dinner. Overall, our experience was very good - but upgraded bathrooms and some attention to the areas seen by half the guests (parking lot) could make the property Excellent!
