Beach is okay. Definitely not Aruba soft. Sand is only soft by close to the water. Where chairs/palapas are located, the sand is very compacted (rock hard almost), mixed with rocks so it doesn't feel good walking on it. Getting into water, there are some rocks to deal with. No seaweed, some marine life, nice clear water.

Great review. Thinking about staying here in April/ May.
Do they offer free Antigen tests like other Hilton resorts?
It's $20, run by ADC between 8AM - 9AM (best to line up by 7:30 as line can get long). covid19pcrtestcuracao dot com for appointment.

There was no upcharge/upsell for anything. We were perfectly fine with the quality of alcohol included in the all inclusive. The seafood restaurant did mention they do have bottles of wines for sale but they were happy to pour us free glasses of wine. Also, we noted the specialty restaurants are advertised as free once per stay but I am not sure how they track it as we did go to the BBQ restaurant twice without being charged.
