They added $500+ in charges to our room account without further verifying. BTW- When they tell you equipment for beach is included at beach hut that does not include the umbrella @ $40, just 2 chairs. Do your yourselves the favor and pay cash or with your credit card. To avoid having to go through the unpleasant situation of having to take your time to dispute, room charges and calling back and fourth.

Property was clean and nice. Food at the resort was good. Not a lot of close restaurant options or things to do close by within walking distance. Would stay here again as we were looking for relaxing vacation at the beach.

This property is on the verge of excellent, they get a Very Good ++. Location a.k.a. beachfront is absolutely wonderful. Pool and spa pool are warm and comfortable. (Sand at pool bottom should be cleaned for maximum appeal.)
