Stayed here for 3 nights (off-season) in late June 2009. The property was VERY nice, it is however, shared with TimeShare villa's for the Restaurant's and Amenities. Not a big deal, but be aware of the soft-sell technique of the TimeShare agents roaming the pool area offering free waters and advice. Have a story -- stick to it, they're very nice and will chat with you. Again, a soft sell, and not annoying at all, but I'd rather not experience it at all.

The rooms were immaculate with Marble Floors and Granite CounterTops in the BR. The grounds and facilities were very well maintained. The pool was very nice, and no need to get out early and "reserve" your chair like many other resorts. At least in June, lots and lots of chairs for the number of people. Definitely worthy of the 4*

The Breakfast is very pricey @ $22 pp for a mediocre buffet. Dinner at one of the three or so restaurants will run about $100 a couple. Drinks are about $10 a cocktail. Resort prices, but this is PR and there is cheaper fare available but nothing close (walking distance) to the hotel. Renting a car is highly advisable as this is a $70 cab ride from the airport. One annoying charge is the $15 a day for parking even though the property is largely in the middle of nowhere.

Did not bother with the Casino, Priceline is as much gambling as I do. :)

There is considerable construction nearby (including Trump apartments) so plenty of beep-beep-beep backup warnings and pile drivers within 1,000 yards of the property. The "golf" is not actually attached to the resort and also quite pricey at >$100 even at twilight rate.

All things considered, VERY nice place !
