“The location is superb, right on the beach, and the staff are welcoming; however, the aging infrastructure needs attention-some noise from the AC units and a non-operational hot tub detract from the experience. With indoor and outdoor pools, on-site spa, and dining that emphasizes local cuisine, the potential for a serene stay is definitely there. It's a property with highlights but also areas needing revamp.”
