Delicious Tiki Bar

The Tiki bar's locally sourced menu offered refreshing cocktails and snacks that truly enhanced our beach days. Enjoying a drink while gazing at the waves was a highlight of our stay!

The indoor arcade was a perfect spot for family fun. My kids loved the variety of games available, and it kept them entertained on a rainy day.

Great Balcony!

Our room had a stunning private balcony where we enjoyed our morning coffee with the sound of the waves in the background. It was an absolute treat!

I had a decent stay overall, with some excellent highlights like the beautiful beach access and the spacious pool areas. The rooms, while clean, felt a bit cramped for our group size, and there’s definitely a need for some updates to enhance the experience. The service was generally prompt, which helped us enjoy our vacation despite these drawbacks.

Rooms

The rooms were clean but felt cramped for six people. The view from the small balcony was absolutely beautiful, though.

Service

The service was prompt and pleasant, especially around the beach and pool areas where we had access to free chairs and umbrellas.

Location

Just steps from the beach, the location is fantastic with two pools and a jacuzzi, making it family-friendly and fun.

While the restaurant was convenient, I found the prices a bit too high for what was offered.
