The location is great and the view from the balcony is amazing. We could see from our room the dolphins swimming in the aquarium next door. Very relaxed atmosphere, not crowded. They have their own private beach and restaurants are within walking distance. Staff is very nice. Room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast at the restaurant on the property could be better. I would stay there again.

The resort is in a beautiful location. The beach area was wonderful as were the pools. I also appreciated the shuttle to downtown as well as the grocery store. Overall we had a good experience, however I didn’t appreciate frequent calls from the staff if we had the door open to the patio and the reception was not as warm and helpful as other resorts we have visited.
