Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Most families thought this resort was a great place for a vacation. Plus points were the location right on the beach, the large swimming beachfront pool with slides for the youngsters to enjoy and helpful and attentive employees. Several thought the resort was expensive, particularly dining here. There are other places in the area to eat but you will need a car, or a taxi to reach them. Words of warning from precious clients: Not all the rooms have ocean views. To enjoy this property at its best an ocean view is a must. Many clients said they would be back for future vacations. Some said they would look elsewhere for something less expensive, but doubted they would find a better beach. Read our customer reviews?
