Why choose it

  • Family-friendly with children's recreation and family room options.

Keep in mind

  • Only two outdoor pools are confirmed by Expedia, so pool variety is more limited than some megaresorts.
  • Travelers seeking a secluded remote beach escape may find the airport and marina setting less escapist.
