8.4/10 Very Good! (37 reviews)
Everything here was great. Staff was exceptionally nice and did their best to assist with whatever we needed. For me the only thing is that the pool is open to the public so we didn’t have chairs for the pool poolside and it was busy (weekend) and my kids did not want to swim, this may be ok for others. The local beach was beautiful and the sunsets were amazing.
