Beautiful and expansive resort. Spa is second to none and the deluxe ocean views are worth it. Staff are all prompt and friendly. The beach fills up in the AM, but opens back up after lunch. Either way, they have a great system in place to get you a chair and umbrella setup asap right on their beach. If you can't get right on the beach then the massive maze of interconnected pools are terrific to explore. Breakfast buffet is busy but we never waited more than 15 minutes for a table and it never felt cramped. The variety and omelette station make it worth the price (considering island resort pricing in general and especially if you're a Hilton member and qualify for the $19 buffet upgrade). The hotel is older but looks great for its age. Good mix of tech, sophistication, and timelessness.
