Good options were great. Drinks were excellent. Staff were very friendly and nice. 2 improvements are needed. 1- beach sand needs more cleaning because of the horse poops left. 2- stereo system needs upgrading in the theatre. It lacks clarity of sound or adjustments needed.
Definitely would like to return. This place was awesome

Liked: Cleanliness
The service and food was just ok. The room was nice, however when we asked for clean sheets we noticed that they did not give us fresh sheets and I could still see the makeup I had gotten on the pillowcase there. I’ve had better food at other resorts, and better customer service but I will say it was an older crowd which we liked because it was more quiet.
