We loved the breakfast. We loved the beach and the 2 swimming pools and the hot tub. We spent everyday in the ocean easy access from the hotel and the pools. The kids loved walks on the beach at night chasing ghost crabs. My 9yr old son told me this was the best week of his life! This really was a great family vacation spot.
