"The tennis garden is very nice and well run however the gulfside facilities are sub par for any resort. The tennis courts are visibly run down when you drive in. The spa is a joke and the poolside area is not attractive at all. We have been coming to the resort for almost 20 years and purchased a condo "behind the gates" so we could join the club and enjoy its amenities. We have seen it go downhill since our purchase and are disappointed with the current condition. "
