I think the pictures say enough. I would definitely do a ground floor swim up facing the ocean. You won't regret it. All the food was great. Mexican was a favorite but all a la cares were fantastic. Also did the preferred package... good for check in and VIP services but the bar and buffet weren't anything special that you couldn't get anywhere else. The breakfast buffet was to die for.... it's waffle station, crepe station, omlet station were all freshly made when you walked up, the fruit arrangement was superb... can't say enough good things. It's not like any buffet you'd see at a holiday inn or Hilton. All the waiters and waitresses were personable and friendly. Even though gratuities are included it's definitely customary to tip a couple bucks for food and a buck or 2 for drinks. If you leave money for maid service they will do special things for you. Called a couple times for restocking of the fridge and extra incense. Also had security at the ends of the beach 24 hrs a day. They noticed the door was open and called because they didn't see anyone and wanted to make sure everything was ok which I appreciated with all the recent activity. They also have kayaks and hobie catamarans. Taking those out without paying extra was fantastic. Also booked a few excursions off the resort through delta. Definitely book something with shuttles included. Taxi fares are pricey or at least negotiate a rate before you get in. Most people except dollars so no need to exchange. Bring singles and get them exchanged at the front desk of you find it necessary. Otherwise the atm charges like $15. Would definitely go back.
