Relaxing Getaway at a Wonderful Resort

excellent landscaping prompt housekeeping soft sand nice spa

The landscape is excellent, and it is well kept by diligent staff. The housekeeping service was prompt. My room was neat. The beach offers soft sand perfect for walks. The spa had very nice amenities, and I enjoyed my time there.

The breakfast menu remained the SAME. I found this a little repetitive over several days.
