Always a great stay

I love this hotel and its location, this is my fourth stay here. The beach is amazing, the beach bar convenient, the pool is heated and always the best temperature. Has everything you need on property. Unfortunately this stay we had a room in front of the elevator which made it hard to sleep. I’ll be sure to call prior when I book again. The resort is great for families. And they have cabanas available during the day by the pool making family time easy.
