    Not an all inclusive. From what I can tell, need a car to take to local restaurants etc. This resort is meant to sit back and shut it down and not go anywhere.

    There is also a very nice pool, but the best for little kids is the ocean... no waves whatsoever, is very clear water and pretty flat beach. Your kid will love it.
