    We spent nearly every day at either the pool or beach club, and we dined in all restaurants on property. I was also able to get in a round of golf, while my wife and daughters enjoyed the spa.

    We only used the shop for breakfast. Our favourite place to eat was the beach club because of the view and menu. The tram team who drive to the beach were all very pleasant.
