"Everything about it was good - the location, the staff tries to keep the beach clean but was heartrending to see plastic being washed up on the shore (the worlds irresponsible acts). The hotel staff were great and went to great lengths to make our stay for a family reunion comfortable. Has a swimming pool and other activities- wish I had had time for other activities. Will definitely stay here again"
