Summary: Beautiful grounds. Our kids loved the pool and proximity to the beach. Service was also very good and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are little tired and onsite food options were expensive for the quality of food, but that goes with the territory when staying at a resort. Overall, we would definitely return.
