Great. Beware of the tide
L'endroit est bien entretenu, en bonne condition. Le personnel est très sympathique et dévoué. Il ne faut pas y aller pour la plage. Les marées rendent la baignade difficile. Le mieux est d'aller sur la jetée pour profiter de l'océan.

The food is terrible, i paid for all inclusive for 8 days and every day breakfast , Lunch and dinner was the exact same. I expected more sea food options but that was not the case. There was grilled fish or calamari but poorly cooked, However the people were amazing.
