Beautiful property. Friendly staff. Great location . Pool bar drinks not impressive. Unfortunately, you can hear all noises in the hallway while trying to sleep in the bedroom.

Clean, excellent pool and beach area. Most of the food options were tasty but very expensive. Rooms could use a refresh but very nice large rooms. Service was great, very friendly staff.
