This is a very comfortable property that met our needs. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The property is right on the beach with tropical fish swimming in water below your knees. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend for families. The resort does need to ensure that their website, tv menus and onsite menus are updated to align but this is a minor point.
