I appreciated the communication prior to our arrival. I was able to make a request for room type/location and depending on availability, it was approved. We also liked the size of the property, it wasn't too big or too small. Everything was within walking distance at the hotel, and simple souvenir shopping just across the street. There was ample choices for food. The entertainment staff was friendly and welcoming. There were plenty of chairs around the pool and beach accessibility.
