We had no idea what to expect upon arrival for our vacation. We had never booked a villa/timeshare at a hotel resort prior. I would have to say our experience was awesome. The room was nicely furnished, large, well appointed, and clean. The amenities at the hotel were everything we needed for our family with teens to young adult; 3 pools/hot tubs, water slide, right on the ocean, nice workout facility, pool & ping-pong tables, restaurants, planned activities for all ages, a nice luxury feel to the place. Our so-called Islandview still had a nice view of the ocean off to the left. We were within walking distance to great restaurants and activities. The hotel staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. Bottom line, loved having the convenience of a condo (kitchen, multiple bedrooms) with the amenities of a resort hotel. Would definitely do this again in the future!
