Great views from our room on 3rd floor beach from balcony and mountain range from bedroom. Nice staff easy to talk too. The pool area was nice to relax in.

Stayed with our grandkids, great location and outstanding communication from reception. Nothing was too difficult, the room was clean and had everything we needed. Excellent service and very family friendly.

A great choice for a four night stay over. Getting a bit tired and in need of some maintenance but overall a good place to stay.
