The beach and swimming area was great. Some suggestions I would make: live music, spa service, laundry service, get rid of the automatic 18% gratuity, staff would be more diligent about their service, inform that you will be bombarded by cruise ship passengers on the beach, put in freshwater showers to rinse off after you get out of the ocean, provide fresh ice water in a large container so guest can refill their cups rather than charging $3.00 a bottle, update the menu (steak was on it but they did not have it), get rid or the roosters, chickens, and cats (I was awakened every morning between 3:00 & 5:00 am.

Hotel staff gave us great recommendations for local restaurants off the beaten path, the view from our room patio was perfect every morning with palm trees, ocean waves and sunshine. Being right on the beach for our honeymoon was our favorite part of the stay! We absolutely loved our stay there—perfect size and amenities for us.

Very friendly staff, room was great. My only suggestion would be a screen door on the porch to keep bugs out. The weather at night is perfect for open doors, property would save money on electricity as well. Not so sure about safety if doors were kept open at night. Just a thought. In general the hotel is very pleasant with a very convenient location.

The room was very nice and had terrific view of beautiful beach. The only thing we disliked regarding the room was no place to hang towels and sometimes they forgot to stick room with new towels and bath mat and coffee pods. The food in restaurant was exceptionally good but it took over 1 1/2 hours to receive food. We ate breakfast and dinner there every day and it always took this long. It seemed they were understaffed.
