Resort was very nice. The staff was very friendly. Beach access was great. The beach was spotless. Water was crystal clear and it was a wonderful experience. The room had very nice amenities. The only reason for a four star review and not five was the bed was not very comfortable maybe time to change out the mattress, and one of the sofa pillows were quite saturated with dog urine as it was a pet friendly resort other than that overall fantastic stay.
