"Great resort great experience"

The rooms are clean and have beachy vibe. The property is well maintained. The reception desk and all the staff have been courteous and helpful. We could walk to the beach in three to five minutes. The pool was clean and had plenty of chairs to accommodate all the guests. The pool has a bar and our bartender made great drinks. All day long the staff are cleaning and working on the property. The beach is clean and it's easy to get to. Parking was convenient and easy to get to all the local shops and restaurants. I would definitely come back.
