modern rooms lovely pools clear water hot areas average breakfast dietary restrictions
The room was very clean and modern. I appreciated the two lovely swimming pools (perfect for a refreshing dip). The restaurant overlooks the beach. The beach is fine. The water is clear.
The air conditioning unit is only in the bedroom. Other areas of the suite got very hot without air conditioning. The breakfast was average. There weren't many options for those with dietary restrictions.
