Tiki bar, accomodating & friendly staff, beach bathroom on first floor near pool was convenient so we didn't have to go back to our room. Housekeeping should make sure there are enough towels & washcloths in room for # of people booked in room. Also, had to ask for sheets & blanket for futon chair in King Family room. The bathroom electric outlet didn't work in Rm 204.

The only negative I have is the tv. Most everywhere has a smart tv these days and they don’t have that here yet. It had cable so there wasn’t a lack of something to watch but we usually just pull up our account for streaming to catch up on shows we’ve been watching at home so that was a bummer but otherwise everything was great!

The beds were very comfortable, clean rooms, great staff. While food was really good the limited time (breakfast not until 8am) and take out only until 11:00am was very inconvenient. No one monitors the pool and there was seldom any towels so everyone had to buy them, and too many unsupervised children in the pool
