Regular beach is really rocky, and we didn’t know the option to paid extra money for having decent camastros with flamingo view.”

There was lots of climbing stairs and walking across narrow rope bridges in between platforms. it was a full day for sure. The ride from the cruise port to the adventure park was about an hour. I wasn’t expecting that, but the experience was definitely worth the effort to get there. There were 12 full zip lines and you reach up to 30mph on some!”

“We made a reservation in advance so our lounge chairs were reserved for us right next to the pool when we got there. Easy 1 mile walk from the cruise pier. Very nice environment and staff but a few minor things kept us from giving it 5 stars. We paid for 2 chairs and an umbrella but because of the wind they would not put the umbrellas up. Not their fault obviously but still we did not get what we paid for. Also, I recommend making a reservation if you want to eat lunch. It got very crowded in the late morning and people were sitting at the outdoor tables…”
