10/10 Excellent
"Situated perfectly in the middle of beaches, bays, and the Mission Beach boardwalk. Amazing big rooms and amenities were great. Staff was helpful. Dockside restaurant was delicious brunch and view. The only downside is the pool is not that great for such a nice resort. That would be the only deciding factor to pick another resort. The pictures on the website are deceiving and stretch out the pool to look massive but it is quite small. Overall great resort!"
