This looks to be one of those properties where the entry level rooms are fairly mundane, which isn't unusual even for FS beachfront properties IME.
I've salivated over the deluxe suites and island luxury suites with private pools, which price around $500-575 per night. Their pools are twice as large, more private, and on higher floors, and the suites are far more spacious. These seem to be a sweet deal when compared with other 4-5 star "luxury" properties.
As with all things, you do get what you pay for. Though if the food & beverage is as mediocre as the OP indicates, that is more troubling. All in all, though, I confess to still being quite interested in this property.
Itīs 300 but yes, value is good. If I would get a 500 rate for the Island luxury suite I would return. But at the time we stayed it was nearly 1000 which is too high in my eyes.
P.S. They have also a "
Classic room", which isnīt available online

Thanks!
