Pool - Very Spacious and really loved the cement lounge chairs, maybe dosen't sound confortable but they were very much confortable.
Beach - Just beautiful, extra clean and fun to watch them set up for weddings. Not a place to go if you want big waves or strong tide.
Food/Drink - Food was perfect but only had one choice of beer.
Entertainment - I would have like more shows and less karoake.
Accommodations - Wonderful, even gave us a 4th floor because I did not like higher floors.
Service - Great!
Overall Experience - 5* All the way!
