"Great hotel with great staff but I can't give it 5 stars for 2 reasons 1. The biggest by far is there is no beach to swim on. If you want to go into the ocean higher than your waste to swim you basically have to go around all the cabins in stilts. 2. Is their 'king' bed is 2 single beds pushed together which is less of an issue but still should not have been in a 4 star hotel"
