Wonderful place to stay. Beach was awesome. Staff very kind and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and daily music / drinks on the patio. The only thing i didn't like was having to pay for a chair on the beach when we are already paying to stay on the "private " beach. But, that was the only down... excellent stay!
