Have to get out, no time in the water to explore. It was also very crowded and someone fell on top of one of our group members hurting his neck. The staff was fantastic, communication was good, buggies were fun and we loved the beach stop.”

It’s extremely crowded and again they rush you. The beach is nice but overpriced food and drink items. Also when you read the reviews beware they all say their name is Mr. Panda and at the end they try and write the reviews for you or pressure you to give them a 5.”
