a amazing experience

beach viewdolphin encountercute staffartificial lights
the beach view room provided amazing scenery right from our balcony. the location offered close proximity to the dolphin encounter. i found the staff very cute and always ready to assist with any questions or requests we had.
i did find that the lights on the balconies stayed on all night. i thought that this was quite annoying, especially as it impacted the natural ambiance of the surroundings on a full moon night.

Excellent Beachside Accommodation

perfect locationexcellent cruisesoft bed
i found the location to the beach and amenities perfect. i appreciated many dolphins and wildlife swimming in the water close to the shore directly in front of the resort. i also went on the sunset cruise, excellent and also the day cruise, just as good and slightly longer than the sunset cruise.
our family studio had a fold out couch bed. it was a little soft as per usual for those type of bed setups.
Dining

the main restaurant provided very good food with a choice of nice tables inside and out. there are also two places to eat onsite, offering convenient options. i especially enjoyed the meals there.

we booked the beach view room. a real beachfront resort is here with easy access to the dolphin conservation. the location is great because it's near the water. the grounds were maintained, it was very clean, the dolphins were swimming a few feet from the beach.
the entrance into the resort was a bottleneck.

the location was directly on the beach and close to the amenities. the resort offers various accommodation options, i stayed in the apartments near the mini golf. free parking was a bonus, and the staff was nice.
The fold-out couch bed in the room was a little soft. I think this is quite common for these types of beds. the road to the resort felt quite long and boring. it took about two hours from the main highway turn off.
