Cleaned daily plenty of sunloungers but very few umbrellas. Security was good day and night. Large rings for children and adults provided for fun in the water. Showers at edge of beach were good working order. More

This has been my second time staying at the resort, the only negative about the Jamaica Grande beach was a stray cat walking around -- caught him using the sand as a litter box! LOL.. but we still had a great time. More
