Great location, very nice rooms
This is our first stay since the renovation. The facility is lovely, very clean, and the room was very comfortable. Small details were thoughtfully done (water and snack in room). Staff very helpful. We will book there again.

Great view, everything is new, spacious rooms. Beds are slightly hard, but everything else was fabulous! Short distance to the beach and restaurants/activities. Pool and hot tub were great too.
