Fun Water Activities

“During my stay, I was thrilled with the variety of water activities available at the resort. Although some excursions were a bit pricey, the kayaking was a highlight for my family and me. We loved paddling along the calm, safe waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the early morning.” view full review

Spacious and Modern Units

“We stayed in a beautiful 6-bedroom unit that was incredibly spacious and modern. The open floor plan made it feel even larger, and the 5-star kitchen with its island was perfect for cooking meals together. Smart TVs in every room were a fantastic touch and provided great entertainment options for our downtime.” view full review

Giant Pools for Everyone

“The resort boasts two giant pools that cater to everyone's needs. The adult-only pool was a peaceful retreat with a swim-up bar, where I could relax and enjoy my drink without any interruptions. Meanwhile, the family pool had ample shallow areas perfect for the kids to play and splash around safely.” view full review

Delicious Food Delivered

“One of my favorite experiences was dining at the resort. The restaurant offered amazing food and drinks, and they even delivered them right to our beach chairs! It made lounging by the water so much more enjoyable as we indulged in the good meals without having to leave our relaxing spot.” view full review
