Great place if you don't spend a fortune eating there a lot. We went to every restaurant on site. The room service breakfasts were amazing, but the rest of the meals were just good. Negatives about the place are that it seemed like every other day in the North Tower (facing the golf course) it is loud starting at 6am with apparently excessive mowing. There was also a worker spraying what was apparently weed killer all around the central green space and kids were looking for lizards in the bushes while he was doing it in the middle of the day! Parents were shooing the kids away from it. If they addressed those concerns we would happily spend another vacation there.

This property is excellent by any measure. The lobby and surrounding patio is gorgeous; especially at night with the torches lit. There was a guitarist each night with drink/food service. Pool area is beautiful; plenty of chairs for all guests which is unusual. Drink/food service was always available. The entire grounds is well manicured. The lagoon is very pretty and loaded with fish. Many places to sit of an evening with several fire places on the grounds and near the beach. Really a lovely setting. Only downside was the price of food which did borderline a little silly. Breakfast, although very good food quality and presentation, price was $50 per person. Drinks are $14 and above. Dinner was very good, again very high priced. We noted many persons were going to the nearby grocery store up the road to stock up. Very nice food choices at store but keep in mind there is no microwave in the rooms. Rooms were perfect.

The Orchid is absolutely beautiful! The grounds are immaculate and pool is the perfect size with a separate section for adults. The food options are good. We especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet that had about every option you could imagine. The beach is ideal for kids with no breaking waves, a sandy beach, and safe clear waters for snorkeling! It's just a short walk to a nice grocery store, shops, and more dining options. Our trip was just about perfect!
