Love the area with shops and restaurants and love the shuttle to the beach though I'd prefer to stay on the beach next time.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,007 reviews)
The staff was borderline terrible. And everything inside the hotel is designed to cost you money well beyond what you probably budgeted. Including authorized charges in advance on your card that you yourself didn’t authorize and if you exceed the first authorization amount they charge another 700$ authorized charge. Except nobody tells you

Lots of mini shells in the sand and the water is kinda brown but it was a nice clean beach. Tons of dogs!
