"Although the room itself seemed old, the resort was very clean and the amenities were pleasant. We especially enjoyed the indoor saltwater pool and the private access to the beach- which was just a short walk. Messaging the staff through text was super easy and they responded right away. Would highly recommend and want to visit again in the future!"
