The staff really make this place. Overall the stay was great. The only things I'd say were annoying was the AC and the in room laundry were extremely loud. Also the connected restaurant downstair will gouge you terribly and the food is not great.

Really spacious room and friendly helpful staff. Excellent location! We didn’t spend a lot of time there but did enjoy some drinks and food at the restaurant by the pool. It was very comfortable for our group. The swimming beach is not too far of a walk at all.

The location, cleanliness and customer service was excellent. There is an Oceanside and a beachside to the resort. If you book beachside, there isn’t an elevator. Just so people are aware if they have mobility issues. Rooms are generous in size. The beach is a fishing dock, so they have a shuttle to another beach. Would stay here again.
