Absolutely lovely hotel. My family was very comfortable and loved the beach. The entire hotel and room was well taken care of, clean and new. They could use more staff at the Tiki bar during busy times as during busy times the staff was visibility overwhelmed. A great family vacation and we would definitely return.
