Angela, Mar 2016
Pros (+) Great location on the beach. Even though the hotel was sold out we never had a problem finding chairs by the pool or on the sand. There's a ton of food. You definitely won't go hungry. In fact you'll have a hard time eating less than twice what you should. The animation team works from morning to night to make sure everyone has a good time. The night time shows are corny but entertaining.
Cons (-) The quality of alcohol leaves something to be desired. But the bartenders are great. There's several bars to order from so there's never a long wait. And the mini fridge in the room is ice cold so the canned beers are always refreshing.
