The resort is really big. I was there in 06. It is about a 10 minute walk (slowish pace) from the lobby/restaurant area to the beach area. We loved the walk - I mean, you're in paradise afterall! But I heard some people complain about it. I honestly can't understand that myself, but if you have trouble walking or something it could be an issue. The trains seemed to come fairly regularly, although I didnt pay a lot of attention, we never used them.
