The story is generally enjoyable and easy to follow, allowing for short play sessions without the burden of a complex narrative. However, it suffers from abrupt endings, repetitive elements, and minor text errors, which detract from its overall impact. While it attempts to weave a narrative into the gameplay, it ultimately lacks depth and achievement incentives, making it feel less "story rich."
- “I enjoyed my relaxing stay and the nice story.”
- “It's ultimately quite repetitive, and a complete lack of achievements does seem a tad inadvisable for a game of this sort, given that it's not quite what you'd call 'story rich' (though it does try to be, in an ill-advised kind of way)...”
- “I didn't like how the story and game just felt like it abruptly ends.”
- “Some of the story text has some errors, but most of it is okay.”
- “While there is a story between the levels, it is not hard to follow.”

The gameplay is fluid and intuitive, allowing for short, casual sessions focused on building and managing a beach resort across various islands. While the mechanics are simple and accessible, some players feel the experience is somewhat derivative and lacks originality.
- “The gameplay is fluid and well done.”
- “You can play short sessions here and there and not have to worry about following a long storyline or difficult game mechanics.”
- “Gameplay consists of tapping quickly on your phone screen to entice guests to your serviced beach, tapping on their heads to apply sunscreen, then tapping to clean up garbage.”
- “Most of the gameplay is centered around building up your beach resort on different islands.”
- “It's a bit too vanilla: it's something seen before and the gameplay feels 'borrowed'.”

The graphics are described as nice and cartoony, contributing to an enjoyable gameplay experience, but they are also criticized for being mediocre and lacking customization options. Some users find the artwork dated, comparing it to older styles, which detracts from the overall visual appeal.
- “The graphics and sounds are nice, and I love the good feeling music.”
- “Very nice cartoony style graphics, nice to play, but then continuing it becomes a little bit hard to please all customers; you need to click fast to give what you want and then earn money to buy new things to beautify and improve your summer activity.”
- “The quality is mediocre, the resolution is locked, and like most mobile games, there are no graphics tweaks available, so you have to put up with the mobile app as it is.”
- “There are no resolution or graphic options available.”
- “The artwork is a little bit dated; it feels as if Barbie were rendered using Fallout 1, with some European stereotypes thrown in for good measure.”

The monetization model of the game is all-inclusive with a one-time purchase price, eliminating ads and in-app purchases, which some users appreciate. However, the game's quality is perceived as low, reminiscent of cheap mobile apps, and the developer has a history of releasing cash grab titles on Steam.
- “A family-friendly game that feels it should live somewhere on Facebook, circa 2011: the price is steep but all-inclusive: no ads or DLC here!”
- “No in-app purchases.”

- “The graphics and sounds are nice, and I love the uplifting music.”
- “Sound and music volume sliders, full screen on/off, and animated cursor option.”
- “The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it feel monotonous after a short while.”
- “The sound effects are poorly balanced with the music, often drowning out important audio cues.”
- “The soundtrack feels generic and uninspired, failing to enhance the overall gaming experience.”

Reviewers express disappointment in the game's replayability, noting the lack of options to revisit previous levels for expert grades and the limited post-completion content, which only allows for a new game restart without meaningful engagement with built-up elements.
- “The game offers a variety of choices that significantly change the outcome, making each playthrough feel fresh and engaging.”
- “With multiple endings and different character paths, I find myself coming back to explore all the possibilities.”
- “The dynamic world and evolving challenges keep me invested, as there's always something new to discover with each replay.”
- “They should have implemented more replay value into this since you can't go back to previous levels to earn expert grades. Once the game is finished, it just restarts a new game if you wish to play again, instead of allowing you to interact with the beaches you have built up.”
- “The lack of meaningful choices and consequences makes replaying the game feel pointless. Once you've seen everything, there's little incentive to go through it all again.”
- “After completing the game, I found that there was no real motivation to replay it. The story doesn't change, and the gameplay feels repetitive without any new challenges.”
