The activity calendar is dense: the Playroom kids' club (9 AM–10 PM), Wired Lounge teens' arcade and bowling (10 AM–midnight), a full water park with lazy river and wave pool, 19 pools, and a Jack Nicklaus 27-hole golf course. Non-motorized water sports are included; motorized options and golf cost extra.
Centrally located with swim-up bars. Gets crowded by mid-morning in high season. Heated year-round.
Two separate pools reserved for adults. Quieter atmosphere and better chances of securing a sun lounger. Go early — these fill from about 9 AM during busy weeks.
Heated. Wave pool and lazy river are the main draws. Best in the early morning before queues build at the slides.

White sand, but sargassum is a documented recurring issue from spring through fall. The resort's barrier system helps but doesn't fully resolve it. For a cleaner swimming experience, take the complimentary shuttle to Beach Palace — this workaround is genuinely recommended in guest reviews.
