This hotel makes for a wonderful get-a-way! The grounds are immaculately kept. We were surprised at just how clean everything was. The beach is large and many, many loungers available. Beautiful, soft sand. Incredible views of the ocean from every room. The beds are hard, but not horrible. Our air conditioner worked just fine. We were never hot in the... more

This was our second stay at this hotel and it was just as good as the first one in 2007. The place is kept absolutely spotless, with cleaners on the go from 7 in the morning until late into the night. The rooms are cleaned every day and the linen and towels are changed whether you like it or not!... more

We were upgraded to a huge Junior Suite and cocktails were ordered for us as we were checking in. Room was huge, beds are a little hard but not bad. A/C is adequate although not freezing like back in States. Pools were beautiful... more

The food was amazing with plenty of choice, whether at the restaurants or the buffet. I have read some reviews where the food has been criticized, some even stating that there... more
