Fabulous stay in town for a wedding!

The facilities and the location were fabulous. While most amenities weren't open because it's still the off season, we were in town for a wedding and couldn't have picked a better place.

We loved the view. The room was nice and cool when we arrived. We just stayed one night. The free breakfast was great! We spent some time at the pool and enjoyed it. Only wished the pool opened a little earlier. We also went to the beach and enjoyed it very much. We rented pedal boats which were affordable and lots of fun.
