A good break from the snow

First of all we have to say that the staff at this resort are wonderful, so friendly and helpful, always smiling. The grounds to this resort are beautiful, and well kept. the ocean is the most wonderful deep azure blue. There are two pool areas one large one with music playing and a swim up bar, its the upbeat area, and another called the quiet pool where you can relax and reade and chill out, we enjoyed both. Our room was very clean and spacious, some of the furniture was a little worn and date [... read more]d but fine. The food on the whole was very disappointing, we were there for seven days and we could only say we truly enjoyed two meals, (not counting breakfasts which were good especially the omlettes made to order) The menus sound tantalizing, but the food does not measure up. The tropical drinks are fun to try, and the wines were good also. We golfed twice and enjoyed the course, our first day playing there was very strong winds, and on the back nine at the ocean side it made it very difficult, but we did enjoy it. We rented our clubs. There are two main restaurants where you have to make a reservation and dress up, they are an Italian and a French Iff you are still sitting in the Italian restaurant at 9:00pm there is a piano player who does a sing along with the people in the bar, and it is through an opening, no doors,on the other side of the wall of the restaurant, they are all singing as loud as they can, and whooping after each song, and that is all you can hear while you are eating, they need to move the venue or install thick doors to muffle the sound. So if you want to hear the likes of Andrea Bocelli or Paverotti as delightful background music to your meal make sure you eat and finish before 9:00pm. which cuts short your evening some what. We had one good meal out of three at the Italian The French restaurant plays good french music while dining and has a nice ambiance, we had one good meal here out of two. The food at the seafood restaurant on the beach was ok not memorable, and if it was windy,which it was, you couldn't sit there because you were blasted with sand. You also got bitten by the sand fleas while sitting there

Fabulous Resort

Had a fantastic time. Felt out of place the first day as we were treated like Royalty. Food was exceptional, gardens were beautiful. Rooms were well maintained and very clean. Beach was huge, clean, water was a nice blue/green color and warm.
