The main lobby entrance is on the upper level and requires use of above the road ramp to access. The main lobby also has several stairs to navigate when entering. It’s a challenging start to vacation if not prepared. The staff is very friendly and willing to assist. The beach is beautiful and relaxing.

Our last visit here was 13 years ago and some improvements like the gym and elevators are noted . Overall great but be aware or many extra charges like resort fees and taxes etc. It's starting to become a bit dated around common bathrooms elevator entrances and patio chairs but some paint and simple maintenance could solve that . The food is expensive but very good and staff is well trained and helpful. Beach is perfect .
