I booked my birthday and husbands birthday from a time share swap! The resort was hit by a hurricane 4 years ago and it looks like it was yesterday! the tennis courts have no nets or fences therefore unplayable! The rooms were okay but definately need modernizing. The gym was completley in shambles, nothing worked. When I asked they said Spring Breakers had destroyed the room. The staff was very nice but like most islands everything took time. I was extremely upset when we took a stroll along the beach at sunset and encountered many (oodles) rats at the beach pavillion ,living under it and we were intruding upon thier snack time! Food was served at only one resaurant and that was very limited. I think they had 4 dishes and it never changed. The lobby bar was not open unless someone decided it was time. And then if they had less than 4 customers they shut it down. We had maid service only once a week and that was just to change sheets and add towels. In short I would not recommend any visits to this resort until they tear it down and start fresh as we were told they are planning in September. Locals stated that they have been saying this for the last 3 years sooooo. Rent at your own risk would be a great advertisement.

The whole experience was terrific. You realize you picked the right place the second you drive up to the hotel. The beachfront location is great. The hotel rooms were very nice. Everything you would need is around the resort area. We are into water sports and clubing. During the day we hit the jet skis and parasailing. We rented a boat one day and ran it up and down the coast of the island which was out of this world fun. We played alot of blackjack in the casino and wore out the electric slide at the nightclubs nearby. No need to spend money for cabs or sit on shuttle buses. We could walk to everything. We were very impressed by the food on the island. It was very good unlike many island destinations. Some of the restaurants are expensive, but they have fast food restaurants and other restaurants that are not expensive. I would suggest checking the menu on a few restaurants to compare prices before you commit. The staff and island natives were very friendly to us. It was a great vacation.

This place turned out to be a dream come true. It was one of the most enjoyable vacation experiences me and my friends have had in years. The location must be seen, it's hard to describe how beautiful this beach hotel is. The water, sand, and overall layout of the area is great. The rooms were very nice and roomy (as in spacious). The food in the restaurants were better than I imagined. There was alot of stuff to do which was probably the thing that surprised me the most, and it was all in walking distance. You had beach volleyball, jet ski and boat rentals, all those float things to rent for the ocean, tennis, the casino, dance clubs and bars, shopping, ect....it was a wonderful vacation at a wonderful hotel.

The plane ride took us forever but it was well worth it. The location of the hotel couldn't be better. Has its own private beach area. Everything was very pretty. The garden area looked like it took much grooming to maintain everyday...very sculpted and gorgeous. The whole resort area is laid out very nicely. I've never seen a nicer beach area anywhere. The rooms, hallways, lobby area, and restaurants in the the hotel were top notch. Big oversized beds and big screen tvs in each room. Every room has a balcony with great views of the ocean area. No cabs necessary. Everything was onsite. We did alot of walking during the day and night to eat and hit the dance floor. Loved parasailing, never done it before and it was wonderful. Would go back in a minute.

This was a great hotel. The locaton was perfection. Beautiful beach area, gorgeous water. The hotel had just had a multi-million dollar makeover and is gorgeous. The inside of the lobby areas look like a vegas hotel with the big fish tanks behind the check-in desk and trees and plants everywhere. Feels like your in the jungle or something...really cool. The rooms looked new and smelled like new carpet. Our room had a big screen tv(i assume they all do). The beds were very comfy and every room has a balcony with a great view of the ocean or marina area. Pleny of stuff to do. Watersports on the beach. Sand volleyball. Parasailing and jet skis. Bananna boats and booze cruises. They do cool bonfire beach parties at night which was nice. You can walk to the casino and there are a bunch of clubs and restaurants next to the hotel. This hotel stays packed out. I would recommend getting a room early if you stay here. Overall it was perfection.
