The new suites are beautiful and offer a lot of space to spread out on vacation and be comfortable. The pool is active and a lot of fun and the beach offers a great place to plop down in the sand and unwind. There's a nice variety of restaurants and bars and a lively atmosphere.
What I wish I
could change:
The property is large but offers so much for every type of guests the size really isn't an issue.
Why YOU should
go:
