I have heard that the water is more brown in this area instead of turquoise. Some videos I've seen just have brown closer to the shore, and others i dont see any turquoise
Yes for sure, as long as you are not bringing any kiddos :). If you are looking for the biggest daytime party, I feel the Hideaway pool was the most happening.
Hi, was there a "smell" in the resort? Or in and around the resort/beach areas? I saw one video that mentioned this and im unsure now about booking. Please and thank you x
You can get a whiff of the "smell" on certain occasions yes. The only spot we noticed it on our first 6 days was in a few closed off staircases. But on our departure day, it was a little bit more noticeable in a few of the hallways. It's hard to tell if that smell is from sewage challenges, or if it's from the mangrove (basically the hotel is a middle of a humongous mangrove/swamp). But for us, it had really zero impact on our visit.
The seating area for the beach is outstanding, lots of chairs and day beds, and 3 beach bars depending that portion of the resort you are booked at. The actual beach was pretty, clear and blue the day we arrived, but from there the weather took a turn and it became murky. So, answer I suppose is the beach is good if you catch it at a good time. They do run tractors in the AM to remove any seaweed.

Hi, we arrive there later this year and we've booked diamond club. Are we able to use the hideaway poolside area?
Yes

How was the beach there?

@@rverreault8 Any videos of the beach there? Especially by diamond club?
I'll look through my videos and will report back.
