Great Resort!
Great resort, well organized staff, clean and quiet. The private beach is nice and has full service to enjoy drinks and food right in front of the ocean. Breakfast and valet parking were included. The breakfast was also very good, offering fresh baked pastries, fruits, eggs and various other local dishes. Included were also unlimited expresso, cappuccino and any other drink. Highly recommended!

Very nice place. Dinner menu was okay and fairly expensive and they bring appetizers without asking and then charge you later. Also the bathroom shower is disappointing. The open glass and tiny shower tub combo makes it very cold when you shower Otherwise the property was very nice.
