What about the sand -- soft and nice to walk on or coarse and rough?

The ocean had good sized waves, I don’t picture this beach to be a good swimming beach but if the wind shifted from the south, perhaps the waves would calm down. There always seemed to be rough chop in the water, so I don't think this is a good snorkeling beach/location either. The ocean has a green color here due to the waves and shallow bottom. The St Regis has one of the largest beach fronts of the resorts I’ve been to in Puerto Rico, but it also has the same problem. Lots of trash outside the area where the sweeper cleans. Tires, 5 gallon plastic buckets, plastic water bottles were all washed up when we took our ½ mile stroll down the beach away from the resort. This should be cleaned up, period, no excuse for the trash not to be picked up.

Welcome to Flyertalk
AUTIGER, have you tried this URL:

There was not a golf course before the St Regis, so yes I'd say the course is as new as the property.
