Superb

Fabulous location with direct beach...

Liked: View looking over the beach from the balcony was spectacular. Beautifully updated decor. Convenience of a kitchenette but many places to dine if you don’t feel like cooking. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Loved the body wash and shampoo in the rooms and pool area.
Disliked: That when you drop something over the balcony it is not easy to retrieve it. That we can no longer use the grotto unless you paul $100+. I missed that .

Superb

Liked: The resort was wonderful, the view from our room was amazing and the food was delicious.. We booked a ground floor room thinking it would be wheel chair accessible. However, you had to go down two flights of stairs to get to the room from the parking lot.. Fortunately, there was a room available on the 2nd floor that was accessible. It wasn't easy for my husband to get around the bedroom and bathroom due to the carpets and the tight space. The beach access was long and very steep. It was impossible to navigate with a wheelchair and would be very difficult for people with mobility issues. We did enjoy our stay the staff were very helpful the room.was tastully done and clean. We would return perhaps booking a cabin or a suite.
