East Coast Pet-friendly Holidays

Needed updating bad. Staff was great. Paths in resort need to be lighted more to get around. I wanted more action around resort (more people). Buffet was ok other restaurant s were much better but only one open at a time along with buffet every night.

So leading up to our trip in early September, I read a ton of reviews to hear about the positives and negatives. Some of the negatives include the gym, the beach, people bugging you about buying stuff, hard beds, terrible food, etc. Here was our honest experience: The property was well maintained, even for what they consider the "low season". If you don't want to be bugged at check in with the time share people, simply say no thank you to any tours or breakfasts that they are offering for free. We booked a Junior Swim Up Suite, trust me, pay the extra money and book it, you will not regret it. The room was clean, well maintained and I slept great every night, no complaints with the AC or bed. Our butler, Norieles(Nori for short) was amazing, very responsive and took care of us during our stay. The food was mostly good, our only less than pleasant experience was the French Restaurant. Our favorite was definitely El Dorado Steak House, ate there twice. No problem with kids being on the adult side of the resort. The seaweed problem during our stay was minimal, they did a good job of cleaning it up and anything in the water didn't stop us from getting in. Take the beach vendors with a grain of salt, if they offer you tours, hair braiding, pics with iguana's or parrots, just politely say no thank you, it's that easy. Down the beach less than a hundred yards are some shops that sell souveniers, liquor, cigars, etc. It's cheaper than the resort shops. Overall a great stay.

Kids club facility was under maintenance and they offered the activities will be handle outside that never happened.
