Frommer’s Review
This big resort boasts the prettiest outdoor areas in the region, with waterfalls cascading over lofty rocks and a romantic grotto bar, all surrounded by thick foliage. Although the resort has another pool, sun deck, and bar out by the beach, its gorgeous courtyard would have even more charm if it weren’t cut off from the Gulf by a six-story block of hotel rooms. The rooms and suites in this beachfront building are the resort’s best, with Gulf or courtyard views from balconies or patios. The least expensive units, in the adjacent building, overlook a parking lot. Though the decor is bland, the hotel’s views make up for that. On-site dining options include a barbecue shack out in the tropical forest. The Boardwalk beach pavilion and restaurants are next door.
