This hotel was devastated by the hurricane a while back but has been totally restored and is spot on.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was well above average with plenty of choice and the all day coffee and tea perfect.
Only downside is that there could do with a bit more shade around the pool area.
Loved it!

A really good looking resort. A great place to stay - directly on the beach with a great coffee shop and burger restaurant that we used whilst we were there! Easy to find, all the staff were fabulous and nice to have a daily housekeeping service as the sand gets everywhere! Check-in was easy and managed to get a room a little early which helped us get more time on the beach and in the hammocks.

The property was spotless and full of little extras that we didn’t expect and hadn’t experienced before in other places we have stayed. The apartment was in the perfect location and had a spectacular view of the beach and the incredible sunsets. The staff were so welcoming and made the stay even better. We would recommend this property without reservation.
