The resort has stunning ocean views and spacious condos that made for a comfortable stay. However, the construction noise and crowded beach with rented chairs were significant downsides. While I appreciated the facility's cleanliness, the dining options could be improved for a more enjoyable experience.

Our stay at the resort was overall pleasant with stunning ocean views from the balcony in Unit 216. The condo was spacious and clean, which made our vacation enjoyable. However, the beach chair policy was frustrating, as we had to pay for beachfront seating and still felt crowded. While the dining options were fantastic, the service could have been better, especially with unexpected charges.

The resort has potential, with great ocean views and comfortable, spacious condos. However, the invasiveness of beach chair rentals and ongoing construction really hurt the experience. The location is nice, but it felt more crowded than relaxing due to limited beach space. The staff interactions varied, as I found some quite rude at check-in, impacting the overall service experience.

The resort offers a great beachside experience with accessibility to water activities and spacious condos. However, the beach can feel overcrowded due to rental chair setups blocking views, and some amenities weren't fully operational during our stay, limiting service options. Overall, it was a nice visit but could improve in some areas.

The resort has an outstanding view from the balconies which really enhanced our stay. However, the beach layout was a major letdown as it felt crowded with rented chairs and left us little space to relax. While the pools were enjoyable, the overall experience was marred by the beach restrictions and issues with the elevators. Overall, it was a mixed experience.
