It's great for small stay. It was nice to fully relax with just simple things around. Swimming pools are good plenty of space around to just relax. But not much of a food options at the resort. Pizza at the restaurant/ bar at the pools it's only options. If you looking for peace and quiet and maybe small stroll to the beach for change of scenery, that might work for you.

The photos provided on their website I feel are accurate. I enjoyed a view of the marina area where I saw multiple dolphins on multiple days. I found the room more then big enough for one, and I enjoyed taking long baths in the deep bath tubs. There is vacant beach for miles but there are no flag areas so you have to be careful and at least know how to identify a rip. In the afternoons I would ride to the sunset beach and if the weather allowed watched the sunset. I saw a bunch of wallabies every single day and it was fantastic

The resort was designed and built very well. But these days it is not being maintained or staffed well. It is in decline. But to counter that it is very economical for what you get. Bring your own food snd don’t expect too much from management and it’s an excellent deal.
