This resort is best for families. The beach is brimming with shells, the pool is perfect for kids and adults. Everything feels clean and new. Really nice to have food options on site. I recommend ordering groceries for delivery from Jerry’s. We loved the access to bikes and tennis. And the fitness center was great too.
