the hotel has an under road tunnel to the beach, so the road crossing is safer. i used the pool access from my swim up room. i like there was good food choices too.

Really good Stay with Fantastic Amenities

clean designprivate accesstasty food
The hotel provided clean and modern facilities. I found the design very appealing. The private beach access via the tunnel under the road was a NICE feature. I particularly enjoyed the wide variety of fresh and tasty food available at both breakfast and dinner.
I noticed the lunch menu could include slightly more variety. It would have added to the overall dining experience.
