“This is a particularly good choice for families; the water park and dedicated animation team ensure children are well-entertained, while the wellness center appeals to adults. The recent storm and power outage highlight the staff's commitment to service, and its location, just a short distance from the beaches, is ideal. I think it's a solid option for a family beach holiday with plentiful activities.”
