Beautiful place to stay and great for families. We stayed on the bottom floor which provided easy access to the pool and beach. Restaurant staff and front desk staff was wonderful. We did have challenges with housekeeping as they didn’t show up the first day we were there and we had to call twice on the second day requesting them to service our room. Great place to stay, close to everything.
