Staff was great, resort and rooms were very clean. Food was good. Only draw back was that it sits on a public beach and there were no resort chairs unless you carried them there from the towel area. The beach itself was good not rocky and fairly clear. Didn’t see much in the water though.

Very clean and great staff. Food was OK and mostly the same every day. If you smoke you have to basically leave the property just a heads up on that. Otherwise very nice small quiet (for the most part) relaxing place. Also if you are an early riser and you drink coffee they will not let you in the buffet to get coffee before 6:30am. This goes for all and if you have an excursion that leaves early this would be an issue. They should definitely have it available somewhere accessible. They do have coffee makers in the room but just make sure it works.
