8/10 Very Good! (789 reviews)
No airport shuttle available when we asked. Need to walk to a beach for actual beach access. Staff were nice but had to request towels and other items that should have been in room already. A good budget friendly option, maybe not the most ideal when travelling with kids.

There’s access to the beach, but there’s no beach beds. There’s no common pool. Or fitness facility. No restaurant ...
