I had a pleasant stay at this resort, with spacious and clean rooms that offered a lovely view of the ocean. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff being helpful while others were quite indifferent. The location was fantastic, right next to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sun and surf. However, the dining experience left something to be desired as the breakfast options were fairly limited and could use improvement.
