The rooms are large and spacious and located perfectly within a 1-2 minute walk to the beach and beach clubs where you will spend your days. Each area has its own pool to lounge at, particularly at the end of the day. The on site restaurant is excellent with a perfect menu of options.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous. The restaurant is very cute and the resort feels safe and secure. The rooms are a little on the older side and not sound proof. Loved this area and would totally stay here again if there was an updated room.
