Has something for everyone!

GREAT location and lots of options! Stayed for 5 nights with my daughters, aged 12 - 20 and this was perfect for all of us. The bay is great for lying on the sand and paddleboarding was a blast. The pool is relaxing and service is good. Extremely short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. We walked to the beach for sunset everynight.

The room description did not match what I was given. When I complained and requested a room change (which was requested within minutes of my arrival) they refused, citing my booking was done through a third part any their website and they were overbooked. After speaking to assistant manager, I was offered a $200 reset credit. The location is beautiful, but the rooms need updating. The restaurant service is slow. If anyone is going to this hotel, specifically request rooms with bay view to ensure you get what you pay for!
