Great staff we had problems with another hotel in the area due to cleanliness I contacted them and they helped get us in the room early so we could leave the bad hotel sooner. Super friendly super clean place. Nice staff and good drinks by the pool. The breakfast was delicious as well

I stayed here for 2 nights. Clean, modern, relaxing, great staff, and great location (to the beach and town). The pool and cabanas were nice and clean. They also provide beach towels! I had a studio room, the bed was so comfy. I wish there was a space/furniture to put my suite-case on though. The food at the restaurant was good. I will be coming back. I highly recommend!
