Pros. Beachside, comfortable & clean.

Cons. More food options! It doesn’t make sense to have a limited menu “because of covid” when most of the staff isn’t wearing a mask over their nose & mouth (most either had it on as a chinguard or below the nose).

Pros. Beautiful hotel In a great location. Good food in hotel and nearby.

Cons. I felt like I could hear every door in the hotel slam. And they do slam! I could also hear a baby crying from another room. The walls are very thin so if you need quiet to sleep, this is not the hotel for you.
