Pros +
- It is located right on the beach which was fantastic. The salt water pool was huge with plenty of space to lounge The breakfast buffet was wonderful along with the sunset bar which you could get a lunch and drink by the pool. Would definitely come back
- Great location on the beach. Pool is very large so It¿s not over crowded.
Cons -
- Not a 5 star. They advertise 5 restaurants but there¿s only 3. Wet bar was closed the whole time even though It was 80 and sunny everyday. They just didn¿t have enough staff. Our refrigerator was broke and the ac didn¿t get cool.
