Resort is very old, I would call it a vintage resort for sure! Needs a lot of maintenance!! Nice beach area to relax on, staff was friendly, housekeeping good. Many many stairs!

Food was good, great location & reasonably priced. Wait staff Hector & Julia were exceptionally kind. I had a massage & mani-pedi at Joy Spa located at the hotel. Danielle was an excellent masseuse- all my aches & pains melted away as I lay there, while listening to the sounds of the waves. Elisabeth did my mani-pedi - she was very warm & kind & my nails look great.
