If there is one word to describe this resort it's "fine". Nothing is blatantly wrong, but it really lacks in excellence that other resorts get right. We booked this resort thinking it would be good for young kids, hence the name Generations. However, we didn't feel this was a resort geared toward families. The good: 1) They now offer FREE access to Aqua Nick, which is a huge perk for families. We went two days and loved it. It was easy to get a reservation, and they shuttle you to the entrance of Aqua Nick. If you want to experience Nick but want a cheaper resort, Generations is a solid option if only to get into Aqua Nick. 2) The Kids Club is nice, clean and offers a variety of activities. The staff there was really attentive and engaged. 3) The beach and beach seating are good. We never had trouble getting a beach bed when we wanted one, but the resort wasn't full. It was too windy to do many beach activities, but we still enjoyed it. The average: 1) The pool is just ok. What you see in pics is what you get. There aren't other more private pools. There is a very small kids pool that is good for babies and toddlers. 2) The rooms are fine. Again, they are as advertised....but nothing special. We had an ocean-view suite (no swim up) and felt it was a good size for our family of 4. The opportunities: 1) Restaurants. Restaurants. Restaurants. To be fair, the food was good. We enjoyed the Palms at breakfast/lunch the most. But the whole dinner experience was very frustrating. There are several restaurants, but they are on a weird rotation and you never really know what's open for dinner. Also, they nearly insist that you have a dinner reservation even if there are 30+ open tables. It's annoying and not the typical "all inclusive" experience we've had at other resorts. For families, this was especially inconvenient. 2) No beach or pool service. Don't expect staff to come around to the beach or pool offering drinks or food. There was a "club area" on the beach where there seemed to be some service. Also, the pool bar, which is the most central bar, closes early. So if you want a drink past 7pm you'll need to get it from room service or walk to a restaurant. 3) The in-room minibar was minimally stocked. They provided soda, some beer and some snacks. We're used to also having wine and even hard liquor in the room at other resorts. The solution was to call room service and have them bring a single glass of wine to the room.
