We stayed over American Thanksgiving break in 2024 (2 adults, 3 kids aged 12, 10, and 5) and had a wonderful time. The property is gorgeous - lush, well-maintained landscaping; beautiful, spacious corridors, gorgeous trees, nice breezes to be had everywhere. Lots of wide, smooth paths of travel - important to us since one of our children uses a wheelchair. We had connecting rooms with lots of space for our crew. The in-room amenities were great - toiletries, continually re-stocked minibar, wonderful bed and bedding. No complaints about the rooms!
The kids enjoyed the Kidsdom (daycare) immensely, the staff was wonderful and they had a lot of fun activities for the kids.
The beach was beautiful, plenty of lounge chairs. There was even a boardwalk that allowed my daughter to access the beach in her wheelchair. There are a good number of vendors that come by to sell experiences and products, but a simple and polite but firm “no Gracias” sent them on their way. Speaking of experiences, we did the dolphin Island experience and thought it was well worth it. Lots of memories and great photos from that.
Back at the hotel, we really enjoyed the pool area. The pool is massive, so even at peak times it never felt crowded. We spent a lot of time with the staff at the swim up bar and they were friendly and attentive. The pool does get pretty deep, but there is a kiddie pool area near the main pool.
The buffet satisfied all of us, and we enjoyed the Japanese and steakhouse restaurants.
