The best part was the ease of all the amenities; there were clean towels, ice water, and an abundance of pool noodles at all times. Our family of 4 enjoyed the lazy river immensely (and frequently). The resort was clean, the picture-perfect beach was just so lovely and warm (we all had a blast body surfing on the provided boogie boards), and the dinner we splurged on at Primrose was delicious (blackened snapper was probably the best, but the grouper and swordfish was also amazing). Little touches, like the butterfly bushes with little clouds of butterflies on the way to the beach, or cooling towels in the gym, really added to an overall feeling of being just a bit spoiled. Having an adults only pool was also nice, occasionally.

We genuinely enjoyed our stay, except for one aspect: their housekeeping services were disorganized. Although they promised twice daily visits to the room (once to clean/refresh, once for turndown), that never happened. We had pseudo turndown service one night (our bed was, but the sofa sleeper was not). One night we arrived back at the hotel after dinner at 8:30, but no turndown, so we told the front desk in person. I watched as the lady got on the walkie-talkie and asked for someone to go to our room and set up the sofa sleeper. Then we waited 45 minutes on the veranda (it was a pleasant night and way to pass the time), and when we went back to the room, no change. We just lowered our expectations at that point, assuming either they were understaffed, were training new people, or overwhelmed with perhaps disaster relief efforts nearby. The room was clean, and that’s the most important part. But with 4 people clearly staying in the room, it would have been nice had they left 4 clean towels (always only 3), and 4 water bottles (one time they left us 4 waters, but only once). The reservation had been made for 4 people, so it wasn’t as if we were trying to be sneaky or anything. We loved everything else about our stay and hope to come again.

The food at the pool bar and room service is nothing spectacular and is over priced for what you get.

Our toilet never worked. Called for maintenance.they came,said the room next door had the same problem. It was fixed for a minute, then not flushing again. They told us they were sold out when we checked in. I told them about the toilet when we checked out early to use facilities elsewhere. They didnt seem to care. Almost $300 for a Spa Hotel... should have a working toilet.
