We have stayed at FA twice and absolutely loved it. However, the beach area is currently closed - which means no cabanas, no chairs, no bathroom, no access to the pier for dive boats to pick you up (though I understand the resort is paying for taxis to take people to the marina). You can use the beach if you bring your own towel. There were three restaurants on the beach and they are all closed, from what I understand.
I've heard differing stories about why the area is closed, but as long as it is closed it means a very limited version of the resort we love. If you are thinking about making reservations please inquire ahead of time about when that area will be re-opened, IF it will be re-opened. People are showing up at the resort having no idea they are not getting what they were anticipating. If you ask questions on FB pages or Trip Advisor you get really vague responses, so do yourself a favor and figure out a way to get to the honest-to-goodness truth before you book.
I hope they resolve this quickly - it really is a great resort. I hope to return.
