excellent locationamazing naturewalking pathsoutdated roomssmall sideexpensive parking
The location is Really good on one of the best beaches. It is a safe, well-kept, peaceful, and beautiful place. There are amazing nature and walking paths nearby. It is a short walk to restaurants and bars.
The rooms felt a bit outdated and also on the small side. The beds were comfortable but not large. EVERYTHING was expensive, room, spa, breakfast, and parking. Bar snacks and drinks were reasonably priced, though.
