The road had more than a few potholes (lots of rain), so I guess I got my $5 worth in wear and tear on the taxi. At the entrance to Sunset Beach there is a guard office so access is quite controlled.
They instructed the taxi driver where to take me. Once I exited the cab there were staff members to answer any questions including where to go to pay for an all-inclusive day pass. It used to be $20/day for adults but when they added a water park the fee doubled to $40. They can provide towels if necessary, but I just brought one from the ship. They also will hold your sail and sign card which you later pick up from the guard at the entrance when you exit the resort.
They handed me a pocket map of the facility and gave some simple directions on where everything was, and I was off. With the construction, the main grill is closed and a bar or two, but there were still a couple of bars open, a temporary poolside grill, and a nice sit down restaurant with buffet.
There seem to be lots of activities, but there weren't very many people at the resort. All of the staff I dealt with were very friendly and there were NO vendors trying to sell anything.
Sit down restaurant
The rooms in this portion of the resort are open
Most of the construction is in the area of the towers
Main pool that was open - there is also a lazy river feature. I might bring my own tube if during a busy time, but this was anything but.
Temporary grill. The burgers were really good and the jerk chicken wonderful - and hot - although they can leave the sauce off if you desire.
The twin water slides exit together, but are qute different
