clean cabana outdoor shower attentive staff

The cabana was spacious and clean. I appreciated the outdoor shower in the bathroom. The staff was attentive and helpful without being intrusive. The food in the restaurant tasted carefully prepared.

The hotel location is a bit remote. Transport to the town required some planning.
