Room spacious and clean. View was lovely. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed and linens comfortable. No tea bags or machine cups in room as listed. Spa advertising for special build your own package pricing was misleading. Manager admitted as much but did not offer to abide by the printed advertised statement. Was disappointing. Parking very convenient. Access to beach could not have been better. Beach cantina was preparing to close for the season at end of week as a result some items not in stock.

Beautiful resort. Very clean and nice staff. Room Was very comfortable and balcony had a great view, awesome pool area. I only gave 4 stars because parking is hike away from the hotel itself and the beach was absolutely beautiful and well cared for but again it’s a bit of a walk from the hotel. Lots of gates to go through to get there. Just didn’t feel as convenient as other resorts I have stayed in the past. Would I stay here again, absolutely. Just things to be aware of if your staying with kids.

We had to park 150 yards away from the hotel at a cost of $29 per day. Had we chosen valet parking, we would have paid $50 per day. Not sure what value we received for the $49 per day resort fee. Lots of insult pricing included on the final statement.
