I am at this resort right now. I believe the new pool has the salt water filtration only, as the salt taste is very mild and not like what you would experience at the ocean.

Resort offers a $15 per night package that includes 2 drinks daily, high speed internet, daily hour of tennis, daily snorkel rental for 2, free parking...a good deal.

Not terribly crowded right now....not many kids at all.....no rain!
