Nice hotel for a family vacation. Pool and beach were great! Excursions were wonderful but expensive. The restaurants on property were not great and not of the quality you would expect in such a nice hotel.

Simply beautiful.
7-night trip

10/10

Grounds are beautiful, beach breath taking, staff is so attentive to your needs, dress is very casual at all restaurants and activities, it’s 1.5 hours from hotel but so worth it…. Wouldn’t leave resort next time… no need.
6-night trip

8/10

For the price point it was a bit of a disappointment. Food and service on the resort was mediocre at best with the Italian restaurant being the worst. Would have expected more from a JW Marriott.
