Rented poolside daybed, and had a great experience overall. The service was great, they are very attentive and friendly. The adults only atmosphere made for a truly relaxing day. Food selection was descent, enough variety to keep you satisfied. The DJ added a fun energy but where we were sitting it was a bit loud. I will definitely come back for another fun, stress free day to soak up the sun.
