The resort is in a beautiful location. The beach area was wonderful as were the pools. I also appreciated the shuttle to downtown as well as the grocery store. Overall we had a good experience, however I didn’t appreciate frequent calls from the staff if we had the door open to the patio and the reception was not as warm and helpful as other resorts we have visited.

It was a really nice resort it had a private beach. The water was so clear you can see the fishes. The room was very spacious. There was a hot tub and 2 pools. The hotel was very close to other beaches in the area. Mambo Beach was like 10 -15 mins walking. And there are restaurants and other resorts near by. They have an aquarium too.
