The property is very well taken care of and constantly cleaned. The pool area and grotto are really nice. Plus direct access to the beach and location right next to the boardwalk is great. But if you're on the 5th floor and there's a wedding reception in the 6th floor.... be prepared to stay up late.

I enjoyed the location of the resort, close to the beach. I payed to have breakfast included but it was no such thing you still had to pay for breakfast every day so I am not sure why they mention breakfast is included when it’s not. Also the chairs you see in pictures in the beach are not part of the resort. They fail to mention that those are not included. When you arrive those chairs are separate from the resort and they charge about 55$ to rent the chairs for the day.

Beaches were beautiful, but the property was under construction and very disruptive, drilling The floors right above our room construction workers walking all over the place drilling all hours of the day and on the weekends. food was below average. Weight staff and room keeping staff staff were very polite. Property was very dated. Would not recommend this property to anyone.
