It’s a nice place but the AC in my room was extremely loud, go to a resort to sleep with an airplane turbine doesn’t make sense. The location is great right in front to the beach, nice restaurants around you can go walking. There is a cool bar at the pool but it was closed!

Ocean was not visible from our room, but we were placed right by the pool which was still nice. Such a beautiful property! We were so impressed with each area we ventured to. Very delicious breakfast food for purchase, wonderful heated pool and plenty of outdoor seating poolside and just around the resort. We also really loved The Boardwalk being just across the parking lot! Lots of restaurants, shopping and a delicious spot for coffee located in the Oasis gift shop. We will definitely be back to stay again!
