I thought this place was amazing. Especially for the price. The beach is very private, while the location is not far from the main highway (easy to get to). The rooms were very clean, with great quality furniture and bedding. The view was absolutely stunning. The amenities, like the indoor and outdoor pool were very nice. I will likely be coming back to this resort often. Great stay!

The oceanfront view was spectacular we were right at the horizon line. The peace the ocean brings was just right. The staff was pleasant and though we could tell the room was recently renovated they are making the right improvements to get the facility to 98% We would stay again.
