I was charmed by the hotel's position right on the beach, it was fantastic! the staff were always so helpful and kind, especially with directions. the food selection was amazing and varied. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit. it was a wonderfully carefree experience.
This made getting around the different levels a little inconvenient.
