This was a truly wonderful stay. First, regarding the resort.
This year we decided to up our game and go for a higher end resort, and I'd say North Beach is absolutely top notch. The entire pool area and grounds are spectacular - beautiful pools, swim up pool bar (which I don't think you see very much in the MB area), plenty of chairs - this was a real Caribbean type vibe without the all-inclusive aspect. Access to the beach was easy, and the beach was great as usual (nothing new for the MB area). The elevators were fast and efficient making for easy movement between the ground floor and our room on the 17th floor. And everything was kept clean. Next, for the room - we have zero complaints. This was definitely one of the nicest rooms units I've ever stayed in. Classy furniture, comfortable bed, nice kitchen and appliances, great bathroom with big walk-in shower as well as a jetted tub. And spotless! My wife tends to be pretty picky about that and she was very impressed. Both the main living area and the master bedroom opened up to the balcony, with incredible views of the pool area and the beach. I loved my early mornings with coffee and my computer catching up on some work things. Bottom line - what a fantastic trip! This will make my decision next year pretty difficult about whether we travel to another location or come right back here!
