Property was very nice and clean. Staff were friendly and the property is close to all kinds of activities. However, property does not have beach umbrellas so you will want to bring your own.

Wonderful stay. We booked a golf view room with a balcony and it was worth the extra charge for sure. I think there's only 7 of them. Overall, the resort was lovely with friendly staff. Don't miss out on one of the best burgers I've ever had at the onsite restaurant. Will come back for sure. Thank you for the great stay!

Great place to go! The beach is right there close walk. The pool was nice with the bar right there. The only thing that was frustrating was we booked a king bed thru Expedia and arrived and they were not able to give us a king bed and got two queens. Other than that the place was fantastic and would recommend!!
