Make more coffee lol

Only one criticism — the coffee. The hotel didn’t offer coffee until just after 7 am— there was always a line and only one pot brewing for regular and decaf each day. The nearest Starbucks or Dunkin was a drive. Everyone had the same idea to get to the lobby early to grab a few cups before they ran out. Not the end of the world, but a pain

Amara Cay is beautiful. Everyone was polite and helpful. The beach and pool area were clean and relaxing. All rooms have a balcony except for room 209, which was our room and we paid for a balcony. No discount when that is what was advertised. Other than that it was wonderful.
