Everything was very nice and it was great being right on the beach. I loved being able to go from the pool to lunch to the beach all without having to even run back up to the room. I wish they had a continental breakfast or complimentary coffee, bottled water was free, beach chairs, towels and shade all included so that was great. Would definitely stay again!
