this person that is quoted says there is no enforcement on gambling age.

i cannot remember ever NOT seeing a government inspector perched at each casino entrance keeping a watchful eye.

these inspectors, although looking bored to tears, are required to stop those that need an id check and various other reasons for stopping folks.

People and luggage were in a tight space. Check-in was a lengthy wait. Some room have been renovated; we liked ours. All rooms have great views. The pool and beach areas are very nice. The casino (while attached) is separately managed; we noted teenagers gambing and mingling with adults. There was no enforcement of the age limit. On the negative, this property will continue to get more crowded since Marriott is building more vacation units here; this will only add more people to the limited beach area. For an adults only vacation, I'd recommend the Renaissance.
