Great Adult Family Vacation

Beautiful property with a pristine beach...no stones or seaweed on the beach (except after a storm). Fine white sand & warm water - we experienced both calm seas and some pretty intense wave action within 5 days. The food was plentiful and pretty good ... there is something for everyone - carnivores and vegetarians alike. The breakfast buffet was full of fresh fruit and any breakfast food you want. The a la carte restaurants at dinnertime were a nice break from the crowds and the echo of the huge room, but the food was pretty much what you get on the buffet, except cooked to order. The drinks were plentiful and of mixed quality. They were generous with the alcohol but the mixers were uniformly too sweet, which is a bummer for me b/c my go-to drink on vacations like this are frozen mango margaritas or daiquiris, but the mix tasted like popsicles. The wine was very mediocre, but fun to have a mimosa with breakfast! Stick to simpler drinks like gin & tonic or mojitos, which they do really well. The quiet side of the resort (west?) is further from the beach and the action at the pools is tamer (loud music and excitement on the east side), and it is near the water slides which are SOOO fun (closed for maintenance on Wednesdays). The West side buffet is smaller but nice, and the outside eating area is lovely. There are no options for late night food (other than maybe nachos at the bar), so plan accordingly. The staff is uniformly friendly and helpful.
