Room was clean, staff was super nice and accommodating although it took 45 to 60 minutes to produce a meal. The food tasted pretty good, portions were adequate but the menu somewhat limited. They served no alcohol. The beach was very nice and sorroundings look a little rundown. The facilities need some work.
