THE Beach Club Resort
The room in general was fine, the bed was way too soft for us ...so not the best sleep.. not thrilled with the outdoor walkways to rooms.. esp if coming to and from pool in a robe this time of year...

The location is terrific. Room was very clean, but was pretty dated, and smaller than I had imagined from the photos.
