Great entertainment
The entertainment team are warm, charming, respectful and pleasant. The whole staff including the restaurant staff pay attention to your every need and sit with you to converse with you to make sure you are enjoying your stay. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. Xavier, who is part of the entertainment team, is extremely friendly, charming, charismatic and funny. Many times customers would ask Xavier to run an activity because of his energy and genuine enthusiasm, personality and sense of humor. His is a social butterfly that makes the activities fun and enjoyable. Overall, I had a great experience and would return just because of the staff.

Great small resort
Just got back yesterday from spending 9 days at this resort. We were a group of 6 arriving on different days, and expanded our group to 8 after meeting another couple. I don't think we've ever been to a resort where we spoke with so many different people. Most people were so friendly and easy to chat with! While the rooms are dated (and a tad on the small side), the resort itself is great. With it being on the smaller side, everything is in close proximity. We spent our mornings at the beach, and then would venture up to the pool for the afternoon (winds would pick up around noon at the beach, resulting in sand facials if you tried to lay there...lol). The beach area is awesome though as you can walk for miles, and the bar and snack bar is right there. The food was sometimes cold, but it's an open air room so somewhat expected... still good though. We usually used the pool that didn't have the swim up bar as it was deeper (other one isn't even waist deep...unless you're only 4 and a half feet tall). Water temp was always nice and pool was never busy. We all had a great time hanging out in it, even when it rained (although once the thunder came we all scurried to the ladder). The buffet at the resort was great. They had a different theme every night, but still usually had their pasta bar open for those who weren't risk takers with different foods (pointing at myself..lol). The a la cartes were very good. While I didn't try the seafood one, one couple in our group did and enjoyed it very much. Most of the staff are terrific! I forgot to take note of the names of the ones who stood out, but you'll probably notice them anyways. The manager at the buffet was super nice, friendly and quite the dancer...lol I can see why people come to this resort year after year. It's probably the first one that I've visited which I would seriously consider going back to as well.
