9/10 Wonderful! (42 reviews)

The room was amazing - right on the beach so you are staring at the ocean from bed. The service was wonderful - everyone was so helpful and so attentive. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the included massage was top rate.

It's a cute area but not much to do around the resort other than taking tours which we were not in the mood for
