I loved it. Spent 4 days there, and it's super cheap in terms of points. I'd check the peak time to go though.

I went about a month after the opened a couple years ago. Facilities and the beach were nice (not very great for swimming though). Cheap on points and got my suite upgrade. Restaurants were decent. The downside is that you're not near downtown PC with the casinos and whatnot. I think it was around $50 cab each way when we checked. The trolley is great to get around and I highly recommend going to the eco reserve for hiking and lagoon swimming
