I don't own it either. I heard it gets a lot of backlash and I wanted to experience the pack for myself as well. What I will say is the CAS & BB is they went off with it. I adore it. TRANSPARENT FLOOR?! Give it to me!
Now, onto the gameplay. Regarding mermaids, is their only ability to talk to dolphins? Weak. Although, I must say the dolphins and their interactions with the Sims are adorable!
Okay, let's move onto the less positive things about it... I thought if I had made my Sim get the "Conservationist" job I wouldd actually go with them to work like you would while playing as a vet. Moreover, I thought of it as being "oh wow Eco Lifestyle but with another aesthetic" but I remembered this came out before EL, so I cannot say that. I should bash on EL for that. Honestly, the interactions with the sand are a bunch of clicks and then I watch their animations and that's it - can't say it's something revolutionary but it's not trash either.
I like how the pack gives you an option to make a beach lot type - it'd be perfect for vacations!

Now, what's my overall opinion about it? Do I like it or do I hate it?
From my personal experience with it, I'd say it's a 50/50 for me. The positive things about it are CAS & BB, the aesthetic is good looking too! The dolphins are POG. A bit disappointed about the "Conservationist" job but it is what it is. Furthermore, houses on water!!!!! ON WATER!!!!

Will I buy it?
I'm indecisive. I can download CC similar to the items included in this pack and for a vacation place... I can just... make my own beach if I really wanted to. Well, not really, it wouldn't be identical to the Sulani beaches but at least I will not pay money. So, I'm very likely not going to buy it though.

To add more onto this, Island Paradise makes Island Living look like a complete joke. Being blunt here, I'd rather play a laggy-but-still-playable world than a boring pack. ✌️ ✌️
