Thank you for a wonderful week. The beach was truly the highlight of the trip, absolutely gorgeous- calm, clear water and beautiful color. We stayed at the ocean side with the all inclusive package, worth it! The drinks were top notch, and so was the food. We would have preferred more variety when it comes to the food choices though, especially for dinner. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. MIX at Oceans had great views, don't miss it! Definitely will return soon!
