"Ground and pools were beautifully maintained very peaceful setting. I would love to return. Only complaint was room was not well lit and even though the staff knew there was three of is staying on our room they only left two towels for us. Office staff were welcoming and friendly. Servers and bar tenders were also very friendly but maintenance and cleaning ladies looked at us not so welcoming. Hotel in itself is beautiful and in walking distance to the beach and lots of shopping and restaurants"
