"Everything about this property was amazing! The unlimited food and drinks were great, our butlers in the family selection were awesome. The only downside( which was a big one) was the beach was unusable due to the amount of seaweed. The whole stretch of beach was closed off and stink from a ridiculous amount of sargasso. I really wanted a beach vacation, and sadly that didn’t happen."
