the beach was amazing, a cool, soft powder beneath your feet. i easily found a lounger anytime, and the water was so calm (i loved that!). the rooms were freshly painted and very clean. i found the air conditioning plus ceiling fan kept the room well climate controlled.

The reception staff was not particularly warm upon arrival. It felt a bit impersonal.
