We liked the property because it was along the beach. Every morning and evening we walked the beach. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Any questions we asked they were eager to answer our questions. We had breakfast at the buffet which was very good. We found the hotel to be very clean.

Our room was spacious and functional. Lots of room for storage, I liked the magnification mirror in the bathroom. A Keurig coffee maker was in the room and the staff always left coffee pods for us, nice refrigerator. Maybe would have liked a microwave, but not a big deal. I would definitely recommend staying here the area and bike/walking paths are beautiful!

Great hotel and resort
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this resort and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing, offering a delightful variety that catered to all tastes. Housekeeping was exceptional; the team was incredibly friendly and ensured that everything was kept impeccably clean. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make our stay extra special. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.
