Do not stay here.

I will not be coming back to this hotel. Staff was so rude. Reserved a room with a kitchenette but ended up with a microwave. The rooms they put us in was so small. Never hard to walk with 4 people in it.

Great Hidden Gem On The Beach

Weather was heavy rain, but the property has a large patio section with seats and games to play. Balcony is larger than any Ive seen lately. Would definitely stay here for a longer period of time next time.
