The proximity of room to beach was wonderful. Staff was very friendly and responsive. The room was fair, nothing special or out of ordinary. The breakfast first day was acceptable however the breakfast on second day was more of a 1 star hotel quality. I couldn’t eat any of it because it looked undercooked and very little of everything. Staff couldn’t deal with amount of people. The dinner meal we had first night was very delicious and appetizing.

Great hotel for the price. Staff was really friendly. Bar and food were good but service was slow. Great pool and huge sandy beaches. Noise from aircraft is irritating but not constant. Not a lot of outside the resort facilities nearby. Low cost friendly taxis always available. Would recommend for a family vacation spot.
