We arrived to the Resort on a Saturday afternoon for a week vacation /Birthday celebration. Arrival / Check-in went very easy with the room cleaned and ready.

The room - we had a Deluxe Ocean View room on the 7th floor. Room was dated and needed an overhaul. The outlet in the bathroom did not work even after resetting the GFI. The bathroom itself had a mildew smell and some possible mold in the shower itself. The hot water was plentiful and was a delight after a long day/night of drinking. The walls are thin and you can hear all the business going on in all the rooms around and above (if you know what I am saying). The hallways echo and you can hear everyone talking as they are moving through the hallway.

Beach - this was the best beach that I have been on in Nassau. They keep it up very well and kept very clean.

Pool - The water was very cold, this may be because the time of the year (February). The Jacuzzi was always full and it seemed as though there was stuff floating in the water. I did not go into this, due to me being skeptical.

Swim up Bar - this is no existent. The bar is there with the swim-up potion not accessible. The drinks were great and the staff very friendly at the bar.

Outdoor Pool Restaurant - great for quick snacks (burgers, hotdogs, Fritters, Crab....)

Restaurants - Our group experienced all the restaurants, the Italian and Japanese restaurants were our favorite. The Garden of Eden restaurant was good, but not worth the 3 hour wait that we had for a group of 6.

Buffet - This was the choice for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Quick and good food.

Our trip was very enjoyable. Would recommend this again for others. Downfall was that there was a tournament of Beach Soccer in town. These teams (although really nice) swarmed the buffet. You needed to be early to all the food services.
The Entertainment at night was good to be expected. Band was great the 1st 2 nights, but it was the same show through the week. They had a magician that was good, his act lasted 40 min and he was gone. The outdoor daily entertainment was non existent. The staff tried some things, but very poor setup. You had to beg them to bring out some of the bag toss or ladder golf. If you turn they lock these up and you cant check them out.
Music - HORRIABLE, there was none. The only time that music came on was when they had the Yoga instructor come to the stage (3 times a day). This was a buzz kill, boring and had no place to do this on the main stage during the middle of the day at the pool. The music was putting everyone to sleep for the 2 hour lunch session.

Once again, despite the issues noted, all places are not going to be great. We enjoyed ourselves and left very relaxed.
