The Resort was clean with easy walking distance to the shops and beach. The pool was basic but it was nice. The Resort bedroom we stayed in had a ceiling fan that would only go one speed flat out and sounded like a helicopter in the room, so we had to sleep on the couches that where uncomfortable and didn't get much sleep for the 2 nights we stayed. Also the oven wouldn't turn off after using it and we had to ring after hours number for someone to come help fix it, luckily he came quickly and was able to fix it for us.

The only thing I didn't like was our neighbours arguing until all hours. Not much could be done. When you pay over 250 dollars for the night you expect a little civility from your neighbours.
