If you are going for a beach and pool keep looking. The pools are small the beach is nonexistent the hot tub is not heated. We were offered a golf cart ride to a beach but never did it. The front desk lady was very aloof and dismissive. Accommodations are nice. If you plan on not spending time at the resort then this is the place.
