"Beautiful resort on the water. Lots of walking around the resort to get to the pools or
beach
but well worth it! The only downside was people were reserving chairs by just putting towls on them as early as 8am. By the time we got to the pool at 9:30 there were no chairs at all. Need to have staff saying you can’t do that feather than a small sign. We loved the overall hotel and would absolutely stay here again."

"Excellent hotel… professional service was fabulous always with a smile and super helpful both in restaurant and bar. Spotlessly clean. Good air conditioning in our rooms. Great menu choice with dietary information visible and catered for if requested (I am GF). Quiet location around 3/4 mile walk into town and a little further to nearest

"Amazing hotel, couldn’t have asked for anything more. Every room has a

view and private pool which was so relaxing, we also loved to spend time at the
beach
area which was free to use for hotel guests. Free parking was also a nice touch as well as the shuttle to run us down to the
