Our ocean front condo was amazing but unfortunately the sargassum ruined our stay. The staff were very friendly and tried to help by transferring us to a new room but it didn’t suit our needs. If you see sargassum at all on the live view camera, do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere! It is unfortunately beyond the control of the resort. If there was no sargassum this would be a great place to stay! Very centrally located and walkable!
