Was here a few weeks ago. Stayed in a hotel room but toured the timeshare side. If anyone has stayed here before, as you face the hotel from the parking lot, the rooms in the left side wing have been reconfigured into the suites. Only 2 bedrooms are oceanfront with most 1 and 2 bedrooms ocean view. 1 bedrooms have 1 bath while 2 bedrooms have 2 baths. The kitchens don't have a stove but do have a dishwasher and full size fridge. They did a better renovation for these suites than in Maui or Kauai. There are some barbecues on site for cooking. The 2 bedroom unit I saw had 2 double beds in the second bedroom. I do not know if all are configured like this. I did hear complaints that the sofa bed was uncomfortable for sleeping and people were charged extra if they wanted a cot instead.

All hotel amenities are shared. There is a nice large infinity pool and another pool with a small waterslide. There is one restaurant and bar on property and they are building another bar and coffee shop in the open area adjacent to the timeshare wing. There is a shopping center across the street and another down the block with many restaurants. We ate at a Thai restaurant in the Queens Marketplace that was excellent and relatively inexpensive.

There is a watersport outlet on site. On Monday, Weds, Friday for $40 from 10-2 pm, they offer unlimited use of beach toys- kayaks, paddle boards, water bikes, snorkeling equipment and glass bottom boat rides. This company also offers daytime snorkel cruises and sunset cruises.
There is complimentary yoga on the beach every morning.
