The location is great, walking distance from restaurants and shopping. Nice, clean and quiet beach, good for swimming and snorkeling. Views of the dolphin show from balcony( if you are facing the sea aquarium) or from the stairwell. Car rental arrangements can be made by the hotel and parking is free. The resort is clean and quiet and staff are very friendly and helpful. Hand and dish/dishwasher soap are included but you have to bring your own shampoo. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and I would definitely go back.
