10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful resort, very casual and laid back. Beautiful grounds and beach. The staff we came across were so nice and helpful. The food was excellent, there was a different theme every night so you never once ate the same thing. Freddy Campos booked our side x side tour and it was amazing! Definitely reach out to him when planning your vacation"
