We had a few mishaps with our room. The hotel manager was very obliging to assist with our issues & compensated us by providing a complimentary lunch & dinner, in which we were very grateful. Highly recommended to eat in restaurant, as the food was absolutely delicious & the young waiter there provides 1st class service! Our stay ended up being pleasant. The gate to the private beach is closed, however, this is understandable as the majority of domestic visitors can't swim. We used the stairs on the side of the resort to access this clean beach for a swim. The resort has a lovely view of the ocean.

Location was great and access to a beautiful beach was fab. I was so disappointed with my room that I complained and was moved to a room called the cottages - one of 5 lovely room slightly separate from the building with a beautiful veranda and view of the beach. IF you are lucky enough to get one of these rooms it’s great, but if not don’t stay...
