excellent beachfront stay

peaceful beachfree kayakspool accesslimited breakfast

The location was great, right on a beautiful, peaceful beach. free kayaks and paddle boards were available. my room was large, clean, and well kept with daily service (i especially liked this). i had direct access to the pool from my balcony. This was very convenient.

the resort should consider expanding breakfast options. (more choices would make it even more appealing.)

This spot rocks! I love how close I was to everything. The beach is literally steps away, so cool! The staff, were on point. They handle everything, it was awesome. The restaurant had good food, I was so pleased with the whole experience.

the resort had a beachfront location. it was easy enough to get to the beach from the hotel.

my room smelled strongly of mold when i arrived and it bothered me. the linens felt cheap because there werent proper blankets, only large thin towels. the taxi from the pier was a truck and the ride hurt my back because of all the bumps.

underwhelming stay, some issues noted

convenient accessmusty smelllimited buffet

The location right on the beach was acceptable. It did allow for convenient access to the sand and nearby restaurants.

The room i was given, a boat villa, had a persistent musty smell, i found it unpleasant. Maintenance work occurred daily, disrupting the peace with constant noise, i tried to relax but it was impossible. the breakfast buffet was very limited, leaving few options for someone with dietary restrictions.
