User reviews

"I stayed at this beach for 5 nights and I would definitely come back. The staff were all fantastic, my room was clean and comfortable, and the hot water rain shower was excellent. The breakfast included was very good and the location is perfect - just a 5-minute walk to everything and only 50 feet from the beach."

Nolan R.

"The staff was excellent, but the room was just okay and the breakfast was below average. The beach is conveniently located near a flamingo pond. The clothes drying area was filled with mosquitos, very damp, and left clothes smelling bad. The hot tub was not heated, the jets were not working, and there were many dead insects inside."
