This is a really quiet resort and certainly family friendly. Check in was a very smooth process and the concierge was not very pushy with the offers to come see them about packages and "discounts" -- where other resorts typically "prey" on new arrivals. This is a very small resort and the walk to our room was a short couple of minutes. The room was clean and presented a great "home" feel. My only issue with the room was there were no small, wash towels in the room and they were never provided. The resort did not have any when requested and since I didn't bring my own loofah, I had to improvise my wash cloth.
The beach is very rocky and appears man-made, which has pros and cons when walking: less sand enters the shoe and is very rocky and uncomfortable is barefoot. The water is BEAUTIFUL, however and the rock wall prevents a strong undercurrent and make swimming much better. Maximum depth appeared to be 2 - 3 m, which is great for any level swimmer. Additionally, you can see all the beautiful fish swimming around with any goggles (and even without).
The dining is average, at best. There are five restaurants and only one (hibachi) requires a reservation. Our food was cold at each of the eateries except Oceana Seafood. Despite being cold, all the food was tasty except for the World Cafe (buffet). The buffet was...This is a really quiet resort and certainly family friendly.

The buffet was not very good, but was convenient, quick and useful if you need something fast to get to an excursion of other commitment. Expect a minimum stay of 1.5 hrs at the others (service/cooking is very slow).
Finally, this is NOT a party/singles resort. There is an exorbitant amount of families and children staying here. I noticed a family with a baby as young as 12 weeks! Nevertheless, there is some fun for all ages and adults/couples on vacation can find something to do here or enjoy a brief walk to Mambo blvd for to enjoy a little more "adult" nightlife/bars.More
