"The room was clean and good. However the staff (room service) and the staff at the pool area were very unprofessional, they kept coming at me asking endless questions and what’s worse was when they insisted on entering the room while I was still inside and actually showering , in the name of wanted to spray the room and draw the nets even after I I told them I was inside. I had to lock myself in the bathroom for that "

"Really loved our stay at this special cozy little resort. THE STAFF WERE ALL AMAZING!! Our room had a comfy bed (great shower) and a couch and chair on patio. Super clean. The pool was so nice in the afternoons and the bar area is great with cozy couches and a TV and books. In less then 5 minutes u are at the beach and I always looked forward to a nice greeting by Moses the security guard and Daniel our friendly waiter/bartender. Don’t hesitate to stay here! Plus they have decent Chardonnay!"
