If beach access is your main concern, you'll definately want block A or B. These two blocks are maybe 75 yards from the beach, less from the pool. You won't have to walk up stairs to the buffet restaurant either. The only downfall is that you'll have a bit of a hike to the spa/fitness complex and to the lobby/fine dining restaurant/balloon bar. We were there before Couples took over, so I don't know about their wine service now, but when we were there the wine was horrible...vinegar! I've found this to be the case at most all inclusives though, so now we just bring a few nice bottles with us.

While I can't tell you much about the service/amenities now that Couples has taken over, I can answer most any question you have about the resort in general.
