I stayed in a beautiful poolside room. the room included comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. the housekeeping service was excellent. They kept everything very clean.
The beach was a bit of a walk from the adult pool area. the sand was coarse, which wasn't ideal. also, getting tea at breakfast took 20 minutes one morning. No milk came with it.
