Room Upgrades
Guests seeking an elevated experience can choose from upgraded suites specializing in luxury and extra space. Options include Family Suites at 650 square feet; these feature separate living areas and scenic garden views. The Beachfront Suites, measuring 800 square feet, provide unobstructed views of the ocean and include exclusive amenities designed to indulge. Finally, the Presidential Suite, an impressive 1,200 square feet, comes complete with a hot tub, a spacious kitchenette, and unparalleled beachfront access, making it the ultimate choice for discerning travelers wanting a taste of paradise.
“In my opinion, this beachfront resort presents a mixed bag, balancing attractive pricing with notable service inconsistencies; the extensive grounds and numerous dining options aim to please, but fall short of delivering a consistently high-quality experience. For families prioritizing budget over impeccable service, the family-focused amenities might suffice, but those seeking a seamless all-inclusive getaway may find better value elsewhere. Overall, a choice that demands careful consideration of priorities.”
