I love coming to this place. This is the third time that one of my family members or me have stayed here. I stayed here this year and last year. I love the amenities and the pool is my favorite. The beds are nice and soft. And everyone is really polite. I love looking at the the dolphins from my balcony every morning. I hope everyone enjoys it like I have.

I loved the view from balcony. However, for the price you get no complimentary breakfast or daily housekeeping without requesting. Also the restaurant on site makes you wait between breakfast and lunch because they're unable to do two things at a time.
