“This resort's strongest suit appears to be its child-friendly atmosphere, with dedicated animation and immediate beach access; that said, reports of dated rooms and extra-cost, less-than-stellar breakfasts should be considered. A location somewhat removed from town means on-site amenities are key, so weigh this against the value.”
