Annual Thanksgiving family trip
Beautiful resort, very spread out so be prepared to walk, tram, boat it to get around. My kids enjoyed it but since it was so big I found we didn’t meet kids their ages because there is so many different areas, beach , several pools, water park. There was zero teen organized activities compared to Beaches resorts we have been too. Food was good but everything is additional this is not all inclusive and you cannot purchase a meal plan. Water park was a big hit as was all the beach water sports but again be prepared to spend lots of $. This is billed as a Waldorf property and I would strongly disagree with that, I would expect service to exceed expectations at a Waldord and that isn’t the case. My son wants to go back since we try a new place every year this didn’t wow my enough to change our normal routine.
Tips for Families
If you prefer to spend your days at the water park or at the private beach stay in the Marina rooms, you will be close to the access for both. Otherwise you need to take the tram elevator and good luck with the lines getting back up at the end of the day. You need to book meal reservations in advance as they fill up quick but there are several locations you can just walk into. A family fav of ours was the Japanese/sushi.

This resort is amazing for all ages! Clean, luxurious and still kid-friendly. One of the highlights for the kids was the water park and multiple pools! This is a must-stay kind of place.
Tips for Families
There are a ton of restaurants. Kids enjoyed many that were on-site.
