What do you say...is this a good property for a solo traveler for a few days. Will I look out of place amongst the families and helpless romantics?

Also for 15,000 points it seems like a very good deal to use points here.

Thanks
I can recommend the property, despite I wouldn't go back (I think a need a CP as minimum standard for resorts ). I have posted an arguably critical report here, but assume many issues have been sorted out by now:

For getting away from everything, this is the ideal spot (within the HI price category). I suggest getting a car (book in advance!!) to avoid the taxi mafia. There are several nice restaurants going towards the bridge and at the yacht club/marina (10-20 min drive), when you fancy dining outside the resort.

You'll be fine as solo traveller there, but don't expect much action - but it seems like that's what you are looking for anyway
