| The beach | Beautiful sand; easier swimming at high tide. Conditions varied. | Not a beach we wanted to swim at. Urban Sugar was our preferred waterfront spot. | Brown, muddy at low tide and murky water. We preferred the pools and waterfront deck. |
| Privacy & sleep | Private-feeling terrace, comfortable beds, quiet AC; some footsteps upstairs. | Facing rooms and public paths reduced privacy. Comfortable beds; noise from above. | Privacy okay; neighbouring noise audible. Upstairs bedroom unusable for sleep due to AC noise and heat. |
| Pools & family | Calm family-friendly Club pool, private plunge pool and main resort children’s pool. | Variety of pools and a small children’s slide; maintenance issues at our room’s pool. | Oceanfront family pool with gradual entry, winding villa pools and access to main hotel facilities. |
| Food & drink | Excellent. Generous Club inclusions and delicious dining. | Good overall. Strong breakfast and seafood bucket; other meals and pricing disappointed. | Excellent overall. Varied buffet and memorable dinners. Wet Edge listed temporarily closed in October 2026. |
