This is an amazing hotel with a perfect beach location. Everyone was very helpful and welcoming. The only thing that makes the review a 4 star and not a 5 is the size of the bathroom in the room. The room was very spacious however the bathroom was so small it didn’t fit with the scale of the room and was a constant nuisance. I will go back and recommend anyone else to as well.

Generally we lined the hotel. Room was nice, staff were terrific. The only issues were the room not entirely clean as toys were left behind in the floor and our second night there was a lot of noise from all the people partying - hard to sleep for an early flight.
