Very lovely and well-maintained grounds, pool area, beach with good quality beach chairs and towels. The room was clean and very comfortable and had everything we needed including a safe, refrigerator, microwave, iron/ironing board and a convenient and nice bathroom and amenities. The tiki bar closed too early at 7 pm and the restaurant/market did not offer much of a menu, but there are very good restaurants nearby.
