It was a serene space. We were in walking distance to north wall and the beach where we saw dolphins and lizards. The kids loved the bouncy pad, games room and the pool! The Waterview Cabin was lovely but the view, spectacular. The reflection of the sunrise on the water and the actual sunset right from our balcony, amazing. The live music from the Shawsy across the water was lovely l, we could just hear it as we read and drew in the lounge, after our relaxing dinner cooked in the barbeque. A great way to spend my birthday weekend!
