A beautiful hotel with comfortable rooms with everything we needed to accommodate 3 adults. We had a one bedroom suite on the 4th floor with a good sized balcony and a marina view. Breakfast is really good and kept well stocked. Pool area was really nice and modern. Downsides; was the air-conditioning unit in our room was terribly loud! I sleep with ear plugs anyway but my husband needed to take a pair because it was so noisy. I have let reception know on check out. Seagrass had washed in and you could smell it at times, mother nature unfortunately. You do get charged resort fee and taxes, however I suppose this is for your breakfast, parking and wifi usage. All in all very good and would return and recommend. Read less
