La-tee-dah!), breakfast in bed, evening cocktail service, personal transportation anywhere throughout the entire resort complex (the butler will bring the transportation “scooty” cart & take you door-to-door anywhere on site!), & the long list continues.... UNreal!

This resort has TWO of THE most amazing & extensive SPA facilities you will ever lay eyes on (with private couples-oriented spa treatments & BEACH massages available, very romantic!)

FREE GOLF!!!

This resort has its own private golf club ON SITE with a gorgeous P.B. Dye-designed 18-hole golf course!

Staying 4 nights? You get one free round of golf! Staying 5 nights or longer? You get TWO free rounds of golf! So... this resort will almost pay for itself to upgrade to stay here if you are a golfer! And… what if you get hungry or thirsty while playing golf? Well, don’t forget that GRAND all-inclusive service, anywhere on the course. Cool.

There is simply no other ADULTS-ONLY all-inclusive that (A) has all the amazing amenities this one does... & (B) has oceanfront suites ... (C) that is as great of a price as this is for what you get! You can spend twice or three times as much elsewhere & not have the facilities, service, cuisine, beautiful beach & amazing rooms as this one has, especially as easy to get to as this one. This is THE ONE!

Note: mandatory golf cart rental, equipment, & caddy not included.
