We loved our 1 night stay at the resort, the ocean side room provided us with a stunning view. The room was extremely clean. It is an older resort so the certain things were a bit dated like the bathroom, but it didn't take away from the room with beautiful decor. I would definitely stay again!

A beautiful, peaceful location with stunning views over the ocean. The grounds and pool were beautifully maintained and the lovely lady at the bar was friendly, welcoming and most helpful. What let this place down for us was the room. It needed an upgrade and was dirty.
