Very nice resort away from the crowded beaches.It has a private beach but the water is very shallow. So it is good for families with small children where they can play in the sand and in the shallow water. For adults such beach is no fun at all.

Hotel was good but could be better like having easy access to use Netflix through my phone.The tv kept freezing up,and the beach was okay nothing too special.The water just didn’t seem all that clean or good looking to be in,you better off driving to front beach road and enjoy a better beach there but overall the hotel and staff was excellent though just minor things they could improve.
