The outside isn't much to look at and there is no sign that says lobby or check in but inside it is great. The resort is right on the beach! The beach was clean and there were plenty of chairs available. The person who checked us in was welcoming, friendly and efficient. The common areas were clean and bright. Our room was very nice. No carpeting - yay!!! The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was new and had a great shower. Everything was immaculate. The room was very quiet and we heard no other guests. For breakfast, they deliver a boxed breakfast of your choice to your door at a time that you want. I chose hard boiled eggs, yogurt and juice. A great experience overall.
