Thank you for asking!! Since getting home I knew I had to report back but couldn’t figure out where. I searched all my different Facebook groups trying to remember where I promised to report back.
We ended up really enjoying our day! It was a pretty quick drive from the cruise ship. The tour group met a group of about 30-40 of us & then broke us up in groups of 8 for the taxi ride. We shared a taxi with another family of 4. The butlers met us right at the taxi & escorted us to our cabanas. The cabanas were really nice. Lots of shade, if you want chairs in the sun let the butlers know as the cabanas offered different seating options. Ours had couches & loungers all in the shade but a hammock & bed right next to us in the sun. Other cabanas had extra loungers in the sun but no hammocks near them. The cabanas had power outlets, a ceiling fan, a tub of water to wash your feet off. The butlers provided a basket of fresh towels & you get a very small plate of fresh fruit. We asked the butlers about sand toys & they brought a bunch for our two kids, who are about to be 4 years old & 5.5 years old. There is no zero entry beach access. There are a few access points with stairs made of metal grates to access the water. The water is deep right off the bat but not rough at all. Our 3 & 5 year olds did great with their puddle jumpers. They do provide life jackets & snorkel gear but we brought our own. Snorkeling was great there. Tons of fish that are not fearful at all. I had fish swim right into my hands. There are no lifeguards at all so you definitely have to be in the water with the kids. The food was excellent & large portions. We ordered shrimp tacos & the huge chicken nachos. They gave us a chips and guacamole on the house. Everything was really good! The butlers stopped by often & were all really sweet. A photographer came by to take pics. Everything could be paid by credit card including tipping your butler. There are nice bathrooms & showers there as well. The park itself offers a lot but we never left our beach cabana area. The butlers setup our transportation back to the ship & they could also schedule massages right in your cabana as well as all the activities the park offers- dolphin swim, sea lion show, etc.

It was a really enjoyable day & we’d definitely do it again. On the ride back we had a taxi bus with more families & they all felt the same way.
You may want to bring water shoes due to the metal grate stairs but we managed fine without them.
